Features of a novel protein, rusticalin, from the ascidian Styela rustica reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer event
BACKGROUND: The transfer of genetic material from non-parent organisms is called horizontal gene transfer (HGT). One of the most conclusive cases of HGT in metazoans was previously described for the cellulose synthase gene in ascidians. RESULTS: In this study we identified a new protein, rusticalin,...
