Conserved paradoxical relationships among the evolutionary, structural and expressional features of KRAB zinc-finger proteins reveal their special functional characteristics

Abstract Background One striking feature of the large KRAB domain-containing zinc finger protein (KZFP) family is its rapid evolution, leading to hundreds of member genes with various origination time in a certain mammalian genome. However, a comprehensive genome-wide and across-taxa analysis of the...
