title: Genome duplication-driven evolution of gene families: insights from the formation of the insulin family.
abstract: The aim of this study was to outline the sequence of events that gave rise to the members of the insulin gene family in chordates. As part of our research, we looked for the chromosomal localization of insulin family members in the human genome.
