Rapid Gene Family Evolution of a Nematode Sperm Protein Despite Sequence Hyper-conservation

Reproductive proteins are often observed to be the most rapidly evolving elements within eukaryotic genomes. The major sperm protein (MSP) is unique to the phylum Nematoda and is required for proper sperm locomotion and fertilization. Here, we annotate the MSP gene family and analyze their molecular...
