On the basis of a bioinformatic approach, we suggest that in invertebrates many ligands interact with a single, ancestral and generalized receptor driving ligand evolution. In vertebrates, on the other hand, the occurrence of gene/genome duplications induced the shift to a ligand-directed evolution of receptors.

Abstract
On the basis of a bioinformatic approach, we suggest that in invertebrates many ligands interact with a single, ancestral and generalized receptor driving ligand evolution. In vertebrates, on the other hand, the occurrence of gene/genome duplications induced the shift to a ligand-directed evolution of receptors.Pubblicazioni consigliate
