Molecular characterization, expression pattern and function analysis of the rice OsDUF866 family
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017 Domain-of-unknown function (DUF) proteins represent a number of gene families with no functional annotation in the Pfam database. So far, the DUF866 family has not been characterized, and no member has been functionally studied.

A probabilistic model for gene content evolution with duplication, loss, and horizontal transfer [PDF]
, 2005 We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gene loss, in addition to branch lengths in the phylogeny. The likelihood for the changes in the size of a gene family across different organisms can be calculated in O(N+hM^2 ...

Improved soybean oil quality by targeted mutagenesis of the fatty acid desaturase 2 gene family.
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2014 Soybean oil is high in polyunsaturated fats and is often partially hydrogenated to increase its shelf life and improve oxidative stability. The trans-fatty acids produced through hydrogenation pose a health threat.

The porcine cerebellin gene family [PDF]
Gene, 2021 Cerebellins (CBLN1-4), together with C1qTNF proteins, belong to the CBLN subfamily of C1q proteins. Cerebellin-1 (CBLN1) is active in synapse formation and functions at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses. Cerebellins form tripartite complexes with neurexins and the glutamate-receptor-related proteins GluD1 and GluD2, playing a role as trans ...

BMC Genomics, 2014 Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor gene family is one of the largest and most diverse families in plants. Current studies have shown that the bZIP proteins regulate numerous growth and developmental processes and biotic and abiotic stress ...

Coevolution of gene families in prokaryotes [PDF]
Genome Research, 2008 We study gene family coevolution on a tree of life based on a large-scale ancestral gene content reconstruction, which includes gene duplication and deletion events. The insights obtained from this study are threefold: (1) Global properties, such as the distribution of coevolution partners and the formation of disconnected clusters of coevolving ...

Pigmentation Genes: the Tyrosinase Gene Family and the pmel 17 Gene Family.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993 We propose that at least two families of genes regulate the melanin biosynthesis. The first is the tyrosinase gene family, which is comprised of tyrosinase (c locus), gp75 (b locus) and DOPAchrome tautomerase (slt locus). The second is the pmel 17 gene family, which is composed of pmel 17 (putative si locus) and chicken melanosomal matrix protein (MMP)

CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Single-Gene and Gene Family Disruption in Trypanosoma cruzi
mBio, 2014 Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite of humans and animals, affecting 10 to 20 million people and innumerable animals, primarily in the Americas. Despite being the largest cause of infection-induced heart disease worldwide, even among the neglected ...

PCR-based isolation of multigene families: Lessons from the avian MHC class IIB [PDF]
, 2013 The amount of sequence data available today highly facilitates the access to genes from many gene families. Universal primers amplifying the desired genes over a range of species are readily obtained by aligning conserved gene regions, and laborious gene isolation procedures can often be replaced by quicker PCR-based approaches.
