Evolutionary context can clarify teleosts gene names
2020-02-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The initial convention to name genes relied on historical precedent, order in the human genome or mutants in model systems. However, partial duplication of genes in teleosts required naming the duplicated genes, so ohnologs adopted the ‘a’ or ‘b’ extension. Rapid advances in deciphering the zebrafish genome in relation to the human genome instituted naming genes in all other fish genomes in the c...
