Extensive lineage-specific gene duplication and evolution of the spiggin multi-gene family in stickleback

BACKGROUND: The threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) has a characteristic reproductive mode; mature males build nests using a secreted glue-like protein called spiggin. Although recent studies reported multiple occurrences of genes that encode this glue-like protein spiggin in threespine...
