Abstract excerpt
Mutations in rhodopsin, the visual pigment found in rod cells, account for a large fraction of genetic changes underlying the human retinal diseases, Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). The availability of rhodopsin sequences from a large number of vertebrates has allowed us to investigate factors important in the development of RP by contrasting interspecific differences (long-term evolutionary patterns) with RP disease...
