Phylogenomic analyses of KCNA gene clusters in vertebrates: why do gene clusters stay intact?
BMC evolutionary biology - 15 Aug 2007
Hoegg Simone, Meyer Axel
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene clusters are of interest for the understanding of genome evolution since they provide insight in large-scale duplications events as well as patterns of individual gene losses. Vertebrates tend to have multiple copies of gene clusters that typically are only single clusters or are not present at all in genomes of invertebrates. We investigated the genomic architecture and conserved non-coding...
