Evolutionary trajectories, early diversification and species-specific amplification of the metazoan Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) repertoire

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the evolutionary development and diversification of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) repertoire across different metazoan species.
• Analyzed genomic data across various metazoan species
• Identified evolutionary trajectories of IAP proteins
• Examined species-specific amplification patterns of IAP genes
• Documented significant early diversification within the IAP repertoire
• Observed variations in IAP gene amplification specific to certain species
• Highlighted evolutionary trajectories consistent with metazoan phylogeny
