Abstract
En 中文
Retrotransposition has generated thousands of intronless gene copies in mammalian genomes, yet their contribution to brain development and evolution remains largely unexplored. RBMX encodes an X-linked RNA-binding protein involved in pre-mRNA splicing. RBMX has highly similar retrocopies, RBMXL1, which arose independently in primates and rodents, suggesting convergent evolutionary pressure and potential functional compensation.
