Codon Usage Bias and Cluster Analysis of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 Genes in Seven Mammals
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 are a family of Zn2+ and Ca2+-dependent gelatinase MMPs that regulate muscle development and disease treatment, and they are highly conservative during biological evolution.Despite increasing knowledge of MMP genes, their evolutionary mechanism House for functional adaption remains unclear.Moreover, analys
