Molecular evolution of hatching enzymes and their paralogous genes in vertebrates

Abstract Background Hatching is identified as one of the most important events in the reproduction of oviparous vertebrates. The genes for hatching enzymes, which are vital in the hatching process, are conserved among vertebrates. However, especially in teleost, it is difficult to trace their molecu...
