Rhodopsin gene copies in Japanese eel originated in a teleost-specific genome duplication

BACKGROUND: Gene duplication is considered important to increasing the genetic diversity in animals. In fish, visual pigment genes are often independently duplicated, and the evolutionary significance of such duplications has long been of interest. Eels have two rhodopsin genes (rho), one of which (...
