Tandem gene arrays in Trypanosoma brucei: comparative phylogenomic analysis of duplicate sequence variation.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Apr 2007

Jackson Andrew P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The genome sequence of the protistan parasite Trypanosoma brucei contains many tandem gene arrays. Gene duplicates are created through tandem duplication and are expressed through polycistronic transcription, suggesting that the primary purpose of long, tandem arrays is to increase gene dosage in an environment where individual gene promoters are absent. This report presents the first account of the...
