The Nme gene family in fish [PDF]
The Nme gene family, also known as Nm23 or NDPK, is a very ancient gene family that can be found in all kingdoms of life. In the late eighties, a gene of the Nme family, NME1, was identified as the first metastatic suppressor gene, resulting in a major interest for this family.

Parallel Evolution of C-Type Lectin Domain Gene Family Sizes in Insect-Vectored Nematodes
The dispersal stage of pathogens is crucial for the successful spread and infection of their hosts. Some plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) have evolved specialized dispersal stages to reach healthy hosts by being carried out by insect vectors.

Aux/IAA Gene Family in Plants: Molecular Structure, Regulation, and Function
Auxin plays a crucial role in the diverse cellular and developmental responses of plants across their lifespan. Plants can quickly sense and respond to changes in auxin levels, and these responses involve several major classes of auxin-responsive genes ...

Analysis of the Size of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Gene Family [PDF]
Five members of the human CEA gene family [human pregnancy-specific β1-glycoprotein (PSβG), hsCGM1, 2, 3 and 4] have been isolated and identified through sequencing the exons containing their N-terminal domains.

Lipocalin-2 in Fructose-Induced Fatty Liver Disease
The intake of excess dietary fructose most often leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Fructose is metabolized mainly in the liver and its chronic consumption results in lipogenic gene expression in this organ.

The origin of the odorant receptor gene family in insects
The sense of smell enables the detection and discrimination of airborne chemicals via chemosensory receptors that have evolved independently multiple times throughout the tree of life.

Population genetics of the highly polymorphic RPP8 gene family [PDF]
Plant nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing (NLR) genes provide some of the most extreme examples of polymorphism in eukaryotic genomes, rivalling even the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex.

A review of the new HGNC gene family resource
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) approves unique gene symbols and names for human loci. As well as naming genomic loci, we manually curate genes into family sets based on shared characteristics such as function, homology or phenotype.
