Platypus globin genes and flanking loci suggest a new insertional model for beta-globin evolution in birds and mammals (2008)

Patel, Vidushi S, Cooper, Steven JB, Deakin, Janine E, Fulton, Bob, Graves, Tina, Warren, Wesley C, ...

Abstract Background Vertebrate alpha (α)- and beta (β)-globin gene families exemplify the way in which genomes evolve to produce functional complexity. From tandem duplication of a single globin...
