Genetic diversity of fluorescent protein genes generated by gene duplication and alternative splicing in reef-building corals

INTRODUCTION: Reef-building corals (Scleractinia) exhibit various colors, of which fluorescent proteins (FPs) are a major determinant. Gene duplication is considered a major mechanism in the generation of the FP gene family and color diversity. Examining gene duplication events and subsequent evolut...
