Eleven ancestral gene families lost in mammals and vertebrates while otherwise universally conserved in animals
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Gene losses played a role which may have been as important as gene and genome duplications and rearrangements, in modelling today species' genomes from a common ancestral set of genes. The set and diversity of protein-coding gen...
