Evolutionary patterns of RNA-based duplication in non-mammalian chordates.

Evolutionary patterns of RNA-based duplication in non-mammalian chordates.

The role of RNA-based duplication, or retroposition, in the evolution of new gene functions in mammals, plants, and Drosophila has been widely reported. However, little is known about RNA-based duplication in non-mammalian chordates. In this study, we screened ten non-mammalian chordate genomes for...
