The 5S rDNA family evolves through concerted and birth-and-death evolution in fish genomes: an example from freshwater stingrays
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ribosomal 5S genes are well known for the critical role they play in ribosome folding and functionality. These genes are thought to evolve in a concerted fashion, with high rates of homogenization of gene copies. However, the majorit...
