Abstract excerpt
Human eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) are members of a unique subfamily of rapidly evolving primate ribonuclease genes that emerged via a gene duplication event occurring after the divergence of Old World from New World monkeys (Rosenberg, H. F., Dyer, K....
