Fig 9 Gene collinearity of <italic toggle='yes'>mafba</italic> among species at different evolutionary positions.

The genes nearby mafba and their relative orders were extracted from the genomes of a wide range of vertebrates, including ancient fishes (sea lamprey, elephant shark, spotted gar, and coelacanth), modern fishes (European eel, zebrafish, Japanese medaka, and torafugu), amphibians (tropical clawed frog), reptilians (American alligator), birds (chicken), and mammals (house mouse and human). The mafba and mafbb genes appear to have originated from the ancestral gene mafb through genome duplication specifically in teleost fishes.
