Abstract excerpt
Cow stomach lysozyme genes have evolved in a mosaic pattern. The majority of the intronic and flanking sequences show an amount of sequence difference consistent with divergent evolution since duplication of the genes 40-50 million years ago. In contrast, exons 1, 2, and 4 and immediately adjacent intronic sequences differ little between genes and show evidence of recent concerted evolution. Exon 3 appears to be...
