The hard clam genome reveals massive expansion and diversification of inhibitors of apoptosis in Bivalvia

Abstract Background Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are critical regulators of programmed cell death that are essential for development, oncogenesis, and immune and stress responses. However, available knowledge regarding IAP is largely biased toward humans and model species, while the distribution,...
