title: The gar is a fish... is a bird... is a mammal?
abstract: Teleosts have emerged as important model organisms, yet their ancestrally duplicated genomes sometimes complicate developmental genetic analyses and comparisons to humans. A new genome sequence of spotted gar, a fish related to teleosts but lacking a duplicated genome, now helps to bridge human and teleost biology.
