Evidence that DNA repair genes, a family of tumor suppressor genes, are associated with evolution rate and size of genomes

Abstract Adaptive radiation and evolutionary stasis are characterized by very different evolution rates. The main aim of this study was to investigate if any genes have a special role to a high or low evolution rate. The availability of animal genomes permitted comparison of gene content of genomes...
