Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of Arabidopsis <i>DUF506</i> Gene Family

The Domain of unknown function 506 (<i>DUF506</i>) family, which belongs to the PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, has not been functionally characterized. In this study, 266 <i>DUF506</i> domain-containing genes were identified from algae, mosses, and land plants showing their...
