Abstract excerpt
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are an important contributor to phenotypic innovations in evolutionary history. The diversity of blood oxygen transport traits is the perfect reflection of physiological versatility for evolutionary success among vertebrates. In this study, the evolutionary changes of hemoglobin (Hb) repertoire driven by the recent genome duplications were detected in representative Cyprinidae...
