Gene Loss Pattern after Teleost-Specific Whole Genome Duplication

Caption

Figure A shows a species tree showing major vertebrate groups and their evolutionary relationships. Figure B shows the comparison of genomes between two species with the colored lines showing corresponding genes between human and medaka (upper circle) and between zebrafish and medaka (lower circle). The structure is quite different between human and medaka, while it is similar between zebrafish and medaka. Figure C shows the gene loss pattern showing the two-phase loss of duplicate genes in teleost fishes. A and C use the same timeline.
