The origin and evolution of lactation

Anthony V Capuco, R Michael Akers Journal of Biology 2009, 8:37 (24 April 2009)

Capuco and Akers review the biology of lactation and discuss a new report in Genome Biology that compares the bovine genome with six other mammalian genomes to study how lactation and its regulation evolved.
