Alternative splicing after gene duplication drives CEACAM1-paralog diversification in the horse
Abstract Background The CEA gene family is one of the most rapidly evolving gene families in the human genome. The founder gene of the family is thought to be an ancestor of the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule CEACAM1. Comprehensive analyses of mammalian genomes showed that the CEA gene family...
