RT-qPCR reveals opsin gene upregulation associated with age and sex in guppies (<it>Poecilia reticulata</it>) - a species with color-based sexual selection and 11 visual-opsin genes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>PCR-based surveys have shown that guppies (<it>Poecilia reticulata</it>) have an unusually large visual-opsin gene repertoire. This has led to speculation that opsin duplication and divergence has enhanced the evolution o...
