+The evolutionary landscape of the Rab family in chordates.

+[[!pmid 31028425 desc="“O. dioica lineage showed 11 additional losses, Rab4, Rab7L1, Rab9, Rab19/43, Rab21 Rab26/37, Rab28, Ift27, Rasef, EFcab4/Rab44 and RabX1. This species has, therefore, lost almost the 50% of the Rab toolkit, being the metazoan species with the smallest number of Rab subfamilies described so far.” “We detected [...] 5 independent duplications in O. dioica (Rab5/17, Rab6, Rab7, Rab10, Rab35).” O. dioica lost the Rab-EF chimeras Rasef and EFcab4/44, but kept Rab46."]]
muscular arouse after the separation of the appendicularian and ascidian lineages,
and 3 are cytoplasmic, one of them being intronless and possibly originated by
retrotransposition.
+ - Duplications in the Rab family: Rab5/17, Rab6, Rab7, Rab10, Rab35. The EF-Rab chimera
+ Rab46 is kept ([[Coppola and coll., 2019|biblio/31028425]]). See below for the losses.
