    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; evolution; vision; visual opsin; transducin; PDE6; genome duplications; subfunctionalisation; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The signalling cascade of rods and cones use different but related protein components. Rods and cones, emerged in the common ancestor of vertebrates around 500 million years ago around when two whole genome duplications took place, named 1R and 2R. READ MORE

    Abstract : The duplication of genes followed by selection is perhaps the most prominent way in which molecular biological systems gain multiplicity, diversity and functional complexity in evolution. Whole genome duplications (WGDs) therefore have the potential of generating an extraordinary amount of evolutionary innovation. READ MORE
