Retrotransposition and mutation events yield Rap1 GTPases with differential signalling capacity
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Retrotransposition of mRNA transcripts gives occasionally rise to functional retrogenes. Through acquiring tempero-spatial expression patterns distinct from their parental genes and/or functional mutations in their coding sequences,...
