Gene conversion and purifying selection shape nucleotide variation in gibbon L/M opsin genes

Gene conversion and purifying selection shape nucleotide variation in gibbon L/M opsin genes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Routine trichromatic color vision is a characteristic feature of catarrhines (humans, apes and Old World monkeys). This is enabled by L and M opsin genes arrayed on the X chromosome and an autosomal S opsin gene. In non-human catarrh...
