Polymorphism, selection and tandem duplication of transferrin genes in Atlantic cod (<it>Gadus morhua</it>) - Conserved synteny between fish monolobal and tetrapod bilobal transferrin loci

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The two homologous iron-binding lobes of transferrins are thought to have evolved by gene duplication of an ancestral monolobal form, but any conserved synteny between bilobal and monolobal transferrin loci remains unexplored. The im...
