The evolution of the MUC7 gene, which encodes a saliva protein, was studied by scientists at the University at Buffalo. To capture the gene’s proline-, threonine-, and serine-rich tandem repeat copy ...
Copy number variations (CNVs) are a pervasive form of genomic variation that entail duplications or deletions of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases. In animal genomes, CNVs contribute ...
