- A tandem gene duplication followed by recruitment of a retrotransposon created the paralogous bucentaur gene (bcntp97) in the ancestral ruminant. Iwashita, S., Ueno, S., Nakashima, K., Song, S.Y., Ohshima, K., Tanaka, K., Endo, H., Kimura, J., Kurohmaru, M., Fukuta, K., David, L., Osada, N. Mol. Biol. Evol. (2006)
- A transposable element-mediated gene divergence that directly produces a novel type bovine Bcnt protein including the endonuclease domain of RTE-1. Iwashita, S., Osada, N., Itoh, T., Sezaki, M., Oshima, K., Hashimoto, E., Kitagawa-Arita, Y., Takahashi, I., Masui, T., Hashimoto, K., Makalowski, W. Mol. Biol. Evol. (2003)
- Gene organization of bovine BCNT that contains a portion corresponding to an endonuclease domain derived from an RTE-1 (Bov-B LINE), non-LTR retrotransposable element: duplication of an intramolecular repeat unit downstream of the truncated RTE-1. Iwashita, S., Itoh, T., Takeda, H., Sugimoto, Y., Takahashi, I., Nobukuni, T., Sezaki, M., Masui, T., Hashimoto, K. Gene (2001)
- Partial nuclear localization of a bovine phosphoprotein, BCNT, that includes a region derived from a LINE repetitive sequence in Ruminantia. Iwashita, S., Nobukuni, T., Tanaka, S., Kobayashi, M., Iwanaga, T., Tamate, H.B., Masui, T., Takahashi, I., Hashimoto, K. Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1999)
