Early vertebrate chromosome duplications and the evolution of the neuropeptide Y receptor gene regions

Tomas A Larsson, Frida Olsson, Gorel Sundstrom, Lars-Gustav Lundin, Sydney Brenner, Byrappa Venkatesh, Dan Larhammar BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:184 (25 June 2008)

Further evidence for two early vertebrate tetraploidization events is revealed by comparative analysis of neuropeptide Y receptor gene regions of pufferfish with those in Drosophila, mouse and humans pointing to gene family expansion via chromosome duplication.
