Turning red to green repeatedly: ancient LWS duplications drive convergent visual tuning in teleost fishes

2021-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Photopigments, formed by an opsin protein bound to a light-sensitive chromophore, underlie vertebrate vision. Long-wavelength–sensitive (LWS) opsins mediate red-light detection, and most teleosts retain a single functional LWS1. A shorter-shifted green-sensitive paralog (LWS2) is found only in a few lineages. By mining teleost genomes and sequencing retinal transcriptomes, we identify elopomorphs as an additional...
