Phylogenetics of lophotrochozoan bHLH genes and the evolution of lineage-specific gene duplicates
The gain and loss of genes encoding transcription factors is of importance to understanding the evolution of gene regulatory complexity. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) genes encode a large superfamily of transcription factors. We systematically classify the bHLH genes from five mollusc, two annel...
