Repeated evolutionary turnover of vertebrate skeletal muscle myosins
Christina M Harvey, Eric R. Schuppe, Michael S. Brainard…·James B. Pease
This study models the evolutionary history of over 1100 myosin heavy-chain proteins across vertebrates, revealing repeated gene duplication-loss turnover and independent evolution of core myosin subfamilies in each major vertebrate group.
