ZBED evolution: repeated utilization of DNA transposons as regulators of diverse host functions.

ZBED evolution: repeated utilization of DNA transposons as regulators of diverse host functions.

ZBED genes originate from domesticated hAT DNA transposons and encode regulatory proteins of diverse function in vertebrates. Here we reveal the evolutionary relationship between ZBED genes and demonstrate that they are derived from at least two independent domestication events in jawed vertebrate a...
