TY - JOUR AU - Kong, Lesheng AU - Ranganathan, Shoba PY - 2008 DA - 2008/02/13 TI - Tandem duplication, circular permutation, molecular adaptation: how Solanaceae resist pests via inhibitors JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - S22 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - The Potato type II (Pot II) family of proteinase inhibitors plays critical roles in the defense system of plants from Solanaceae family against pests. To better understand the evolution of this family, we investigated the correlation between sequence and structural repeats within this family and the evolution and molecular adaptation of Pot II genes through computational analysis, using the putative ancestral domain sequence as the basic repeat unit.
