Complex patterns of divergence among green-sensitive (RH2a) African cichlid opsins revealed by Clade model analyses
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Gene duplications play an important role in the evolution of functional protein diversity. Some models of duplicate gene evolution predict complex forms of paralog divergence; orthologous proteins may diverge as well, further complic...
