RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
We are focused on the analysis of the modular evolution of metallothioneins (MTs), a heterogeneous family of domain repeat proteins present across all metazoans. We hope that our results help to better understand the contribution of gene and protein modularity to the emergence of functional novelties.
