Evolutionary rate covariation identifies SLC30A9 (ZnT9) as a mitochondrial zinc transporter

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in genome sequencing have led to the identification of new ion and metabolite transporters, many of which have not been characterized. Due to the variety of subcellular localizations, cargo and transport mechanisms, such characterization is a daunting task, and predictive approaches focused on the functional context of transporters are very much needed. Here we present a case for identifying a...
