Revisiting Myosin Families through Large-scale Sequence Searches Leads to the Discovery of New Myosins

Myosins are actin-based motor proteins involved in many cellular movements. It is interesting to study the evolutionary patterns and the functional attributes of various types of myosins. Computational search algorithms were performed to identify putative myosin members by phylogenetic analysis, seq...
