Evolution of the Metazoan Protein Domain Toolkit Revealed by a Birth-Death-Gain Model
Yuting Xiao, Maureen Stolzer, Larry Wasserman, Dannie Durand
The paper uses a Birth-Death-Gain model to analyze the evolution of protein domains in metazoa, finding that domains involved in metazoan innovations evolve faster and that domain repertoires undergo ongoing remodeling.
