Ancient intron insertion sites and palindromic genomic duplication evolutionally shapes an elementally functioning membrane protein family
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In spite of the recent accumulation of genomic data, the evolutionary pathway in the individual genes of present-day living taxa is still elusive for most genes. Among ion channels, inward K<sup>+ </sup>rectifier (IRK) ch...
