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 adjacen...
