The repertoire of desaturases and elongases reveals fatty acid variations in 56 eukaryotic genomess⃞

The repertoire of biosynthetic enzymes found in an organism is an important clue for elucidating the chemical structural variations of various compounds. In the case of fatty acids, it is essential to examine key enzymes that are desaturases and elongases, whose combination determine the range of fa...
