Transducin duplicates in the zebrafish retina and pineal complex: differential specialisation after the teleost tetraploidisation.

Gene duplications provide raw materials that can be selected for functional adaptations by evolutionary mechanisms. We describe here the results of 350 million years of evolution of three functionally related gene families: the alpha, beta and gamma subunits of transducins, the G protein involved in...
