Gene loss propensity for metallocarboxypeptidase E in insects is shaped by structural versatility and broader expression of metallocarboxypeptidase D but not functional importance
Gene loss is a widespread phenomenon that shapes genome evolution, yet the factors determining why certain genes are repeatedly lost while other functionally related genes are retained remain poorly understood.
Gene loss is a widespread phenomenon that shapes genome evolution, yet the factors determining why certain genes are repeatedly lost while other functionally related genes are retained remain poorly understood. We addressed this question using the peptide-processing…
