High impact information on CFDP2

These results indicate that the bcnt gene duplication followed by the creation of bcntp97 including recruitment of the RTE exon occurred in the ancestral ruminant about 55 MYA [1].
We examined the bovine bcnt genomic DNA sequence to understand how the bovine bcnt gene has been organized [2].
