Evolutionary insights into duffy gene in mammalian taxa with comparative genetic analysis

Evolutionary insights into duffy gene in mammalian taxa with comparative genetic analysis

Background & objectives: Evolutionary analyses of genes conserved across taxa are keys tounderstand the complexity of gene and genome variation. Since malaria is a highly infectioushuman disease and its susceptibility in human is genetically controlled, characterization andevolutionary analyses...
