Convergent loss of an anciently duplicated, functionally divergent RH2 opsin gene in the fugu and Tetraodon pufferfish lineages.

Gene - 9 May 2005

Neafsey Daniel E, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

We describe the complete opsin gene families from the sequenced fugu and Tetraodon pufferfish genomes. We report the convergent loss of function of an anciently duplicated, functionally divergent RH2 or "green-sensitive" opsin gene in both pufferfish lineages, designated RH2-2. In fugu, RH2-2 apparently ceased to function very recently following a transposon-induced deletion that truncated the N-terminal 115...
