A simple method for studying the molecular mechanisms of ultraviolet and violet reception in vertebrates

BACKGROUND: Many vertebrate species use ultraviolet (UV) reception for such basic behaviors as foraging and mating, but many others switched to violet reception and improved their visual resolution. The respective phenotypes are regulated by the short wavelength-sensitive (SWS1) pigments that absorb...
