Concerted evolution of sea anemone neurotoxin genes is revealed through analysis of the Nematostella vectensis genome.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2008

Moran Yehu, Weinberger Hagar, Sullivan James C, Reitzel Adam M, Finnerty John R, Gurevitz Michael

Abstract excerpt

Gene families, which encode toxins, are found in many poisonous animals, yet there is limited understanding of their evolution at the nucleotide level. The release of the genome draft sequence for the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis enabled a comprehensive study of a gene family whose neurotox...
