Patterns of positive selection of the myogenic regulatory factor gene family in vertebrates.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Zhao Xiao, Yu Qi, Huang Ling, Liu Qing-Xin

Abstract excerpt

The functional divergence of transcriptional factors is critical in the evolution of transcriptional regulation. However, the mechanism of functional divergence among these factors remains unclear. Here, we performed an evolutionary analysis for positive selection in members of the myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) gene family of vertebrates. We selected 153 complete vertebrate MRF nucleotide sequences from our...
