An enigmatic fourth runt domain gene in the fugu genome: ancestral gene loss versus accelerated evolutionGustavo Glusman
Institute for Systems Biology, 1441 N 34th St, Seattle, WA 98103, USA
BMC Evol Biol 4:43. 2004..Three runt domain genes have been described in each vertebrate genome (the RUNX gene family), but only one in other chordates. Therefore, the common ancestor of vertebrates has been thought to have had a single runt domain gene...
