Independent expansion of zincin metalloproteinases in Onygenales fungi may be associated with their pathogenicity. by Juan Li, Ke-Qin Zhang

“…Interestingly, likelihood ratio tests (LRT) of both M35 family and M36 family genes suggested that several branches leading to the duplicated genes in dermatophytic and Coccidioides fungi had signatures of positive selection, indicating that the duplicated Mep genes have likely diverged functionally to play important roles during the evolution of pathogenicity of dermatophytic and Coccidioides fungi. …”
