A genome-wide survey of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes and their paralogues in zebrafish.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although prokaryotic gene transcription has been studied over decades, many aspects of the process remain poorly understood. Particularly, recent studies have revealed that transcriptomes in many prokaryotes are far more complex than previously thought. Genes in an operon are often alternatively and dynamica...
