Conserved Synteny Between the Ciona Genome and Human Paralogons Identifies Large Duplication Events in the Molecular Evolution of the Insulin-Relaxin Gene Family
31 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
The aims of the study were to outline the sequence of events that gave rise to the vertebrate insulin-relaxin gene family and the chromosomal regions in which they reside. We analyzed the gene content surrounding the human insulin/relaxin genes with respect to what family they belonged to and if the duplication history of investigated families parallels the evolution of the insulin-relaxin family members. Markov...
