Early vertebrate chromosome duplications and the evolution of the neuropeptide Y receptor gene regions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>One of the many gene families that expanded in early vertebrate evolution is the neuropeptide (NPY) receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors. Earlier work by our lab suggested that several of the NPY receptor genes found in ext...
