Innate Multigene Family Memories Are Implicated in the Viral-Survivor Zebrafish Phenotype. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Since adaptive features such as memory were discovered in mammalian innate immunity, interest in the immunological status of primitive vertebrates after infections has grown.

Lignin-degrading peroxidases in white-rot fungus Trametes hirsuta 072. Absolute expression quantification of full multigene family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ligninolytic heme peroxidases comprise an extensive family of enzymes, which production is characteristic for white-rot Basidiomycota. The majority of fungal heme peroxidases are encoded by multigene families that differentially express closely related ...

The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Glucosidation plays a major role in the inactivation and excretion of a great variety of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is involved in this process.

Duplication history and molecular evolution of the rbcS multigene family in angiosperms. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2019 The rbcS multigene family evolved through complex duplication events leading to species-specific gene copies. Selection and coevolution with rbcL constrained rbcS evolution thereby limiting the divergence of each gene copy.

Tangled history of a multigene family: The evolution of ISOPENTENYLTRANSFERASE genes. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 ISOPENTENYLTRANSFERASE (IPT) genes play important roles in the initial steps of cytokinin synthesis, exist in plant and pathogenic bacteria, and form a multigene family in plants. Protein domain searches revealed that bacteria and plant IPT proteins were

Deciphering highly similar multigene family transcripts from Iso-Seq data with IsoCon. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 A significant portion of genes in vertebrate genomes belongs to multigene families, with each family containing several gene copies whose presence/absence, as well as isoform structure, can be highly variable across individuals.

Genetic variation in small multigene families [PDF]
Genetical Research, 1981 SUMMARYIn order to understand the evolution of genetic systems in which two genes are tandemly repeated (small multigene family) such as has been recently found in the haemoglobin α loci of primates, haemoglobin β loci of mouse and rarbit and other proteins, a population genetics approach was used.
