Sequencing and comparative analysis of fugu protocadherin clusters reveal diversity of protocadherin genes among teleosts
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The synaptic cell adhesion molecules, protocadherins, are a vertebrate innovation that accompanied the emergence of the neural tube and the elaborate central nervous system. In mammals, the protocadherins are encoded by three closely...
