P.498 left column 3rd paragraph: "Most vertebrates have about 250 homeobox genes, due to two extra rounds of genome duplication and subsequent loss of paralogs (primary source). In teleost fish, one additional round
of genome duplication followed by gene loss increased the number to over 300 (primary source)." |
