The role of retrotransposons in gene family expansions: insights from the mouse Abp gene family
BACKGROUND: Retrotransposons have been suggested to provide a substrate for non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) and thereby promote gene family expansion. Their precise role, however, is controversial. Here we ask whether retrotransposons contributed to the recent expansions of the Androgen-...
