Comparative Genomics of Peroxisome Biogenesis Proteins: Making Sense of the PEX Proteins

PEX genes encode proteins involved in peroxisome biogenesis and proliferation. Using a comparative genomics approach, we clarify the evolutionary relationships between the 37 known PEX proteins in a representative set of eukaryotes, including all common model organisms, pathogenic unicellular eukary...
