Evolutionary Dynamics of Multigene Families in Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae): A Transposon Mediated Mechanism? [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae) is a freshwater fish genus with 18 valid species. These fishes are widely distributed in the major river drainages of South America, having commercial importance in the fishing market, mainly in the Amazon basin.

The UDP-glucosyltransferase multigene family in Bombyx mori [PDF]

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.

The P450 multigene family of Fontainea and insights into diterpenoid synthesis [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Cytochrome P450s (P450s) are enzymes that play critical roles in the biosynthesis of physiologically important compounds across all organisms. Although they have been characterised in a large number of plant species, no information relating to

PAHG: the database of human multi-gene families [PDF]

BMC Genomic Data
Background In the early vertebrate history, gene duplications, including single-gene, segmental-gene (SSD), and whole-genome duplication (WGD), formed multigene families.

Conserved pattern-based classification of human odorant receptor multigene family [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Conserved protein-coding sequences are critical for maintaining protein function across species. Odorant receptors (ORs), a large poorly understood multigene family responsible for odor detection, lack comprehensive classification methods that reflect ...

Sequence of a complete chicken BG haplotype shows dynamic expansion and contraction of two gene lineages with particular expression patterns. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
Many genes important in immunity are found as multigene families. The butyrophilin genes are members of the B7 family, playing diverse roles in co-regulation and perhaps in antigen presentation.

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.
