Repetitive sequence involvement in the duplication and divergence of mouse lysozyme genes.
The EMBO journal - 1 Apr 1990
Cross M, Renkawitz R
Abstract excerpt
Mouse M and P lysozymes are the products of separate genes, are specifically expressed in separate tissues, and are adapted to different functions. The lysozyme genes have assumed these markedly different characteristics following their generation by gene duplication 30-50 million years ago. The discovery of the lysozyme P gene only 5 kb upstream from the M gene in tandem repeat has enabled an investigation of...
