Molecular Evolution and Inheritance Pattern of Gene Family among Bovidae.

genes are an evolutionarily conserved family of transcription factors that play important roles in cellular differentiation and numerous complex developmental processes. In vertebrates, proteins are required for cell fate decisions, morphogenesis, and the control of self-renewal in embryonic and adult stem cells. The gene family has been well-studied in multiple species including humans but there has been scanty or no research into Bovidae.
