Distinct evolutionary patterns between two duplicated color vision genes within cyprinid fishes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Oct 2009

Li Zhiqiang, Gan Xiaoni, He Shunping

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the molecular evolution of duplicated color vision genes (LWS-1 and SWS2) within cyprinid fish, focusing on the most cavefish-rich genus--Sinocyclocheilus. Maximum likelihood-based codon substitution approaches were used to analyze the evolution of vision genes. We found that the duplicated color vision genes had unequal evolutionary rates, which may lead to a related function divergence....
