Sequence analyses of the distal-less homeobox gene family in East African cichlid fishes reveal signatures of positive selection

BACKGROUND: Gen(om)e duplication events are hypothesized as key mechanisms underlying the origin of phenotypic diversity and evolutionary innovation. The diverse and species-rich lineage of teleost fishes is a renowned example of this scenario, because of the fish-specific genome duplication. Gene f...
