Ubiquitin fusion proteins in algae: implications for cell biology and the spread of photosynthesis

Abstract Background The process of gene fusion involves the formation of a single chimeric gene from multiple complete or partial gene sequences. Gene fusion is recognized as an important mechanism by which genes and their protein products can evolve new functions. The presence-absence of gene fusio...
