Functional divergence and origin of the DAG-like gene family in plants

Abstract The nuclear-encoded DAG-like (DAL) gene family plays critical roles in organelle C-to-U RNA editing in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, the origin, diversification and functional divergence of DAL genes remain unclear. Here, we analyzed the genomes of diverse plant species and found that: DAL...
