Conservation, Duplication, and Divergence of Five Opsin Genes in Insect Evolution.

Genome biology and evolution - 9 Feb 2016

Feuda Roberto, Marlétaz Ferdinand, Bentley Michael A, Holland Peter W H

Abstract excerpt

Opsin proteins covalently bind to small molecular chromophores and each protein-chromophore complex is sensitive to particular wavelengths of light. Multiple opsins with different wavelength absorbance peaks are required for color vision. Comparing opsin responses is challenging at low light levels, explaining why color vision is often lost in nocturnal species. Here, we investigated opsin evolution in 27...
