Through phylogeny reconstruction we identified 49 genes with a
single copy in man, mouse, and chicken, one or two copies in the
tetraploid frog Xenopus laevis, and two copies in zebrafish
(Danio rerio). For 22 of these genes, both zebrafish
duplicates had orthologs in the pufferfish (Takifugu
rubripes). For another 20 of these genes, we found only one
pufferfish ortholog but in each case it was more closely related to one
of the zebrafish duplicates than to the other. Forty-three pairs of
duplicated genes map to 24 of the 25 zebrafish linkage groups but they
are not randomly distributed; we identified 10 duplicated regions of
the zebrafish genome that each contain between two and five sets of
paralogous genes. These phylogeny and synteny data suggest that the
common ancestor of zebrafish and pufferfish, a fish that gave rise to
22,000 species, experienced a large-scale gene or complete genome
duplication event and that the pufferfish has lost many duplicates that
the zebrafish has retained.
