Short-wavelength sensitive opsin (SWS1) as a new marker for vertebrate phylogenetics

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Vertebrate SWS1 visual pigments mediate visual transduction in response to light at short wavelengths. Due to their importance in vision, SWS1 genes have been isolated from a surprisingly wide range of vertebrates, including lampreys...
