Opsin sequences of the rod visual pigments in two species of Poeciliid fish
The rod opsin sequences from Gambusia affinis holbrooki and Poecilia reticulata were cloned and sequenced. The opsin sequences were found to be 96&middot;8% identical, reflecting the similarity of the rod visual pigment absorbances in these two Poeciliid fish.
