Opsin gene duplication in lepidoptera: retrotransposition, sex linkage, and gene expression

Color vision in insects is determined by signaling cascades, central to which are opsin proteins, resulting in sensitivity to light at different wavelengths. In certain insect groups, lineage-specific evolution of opsin genes, in terms of copy number, shifts in expression patterns, and functional am...
