Genomic locations are given as linkage groups (LG) if genes have been mapped or as chromosomes (chr) or scaffolds (scaf) as obtained from Ensembl genome assemblies [77]. Three zebrafish genes have been mapped with radiation hybrid panel in the present study (*). Names of mutants from zebrafish and medaka are given in brackets. ψ indicates pseudogenes. # indicates duplications based on the fish-specific genome duplication, lineage-specific duplications are underlined. Scientific names of other teleosts are abbreviated as follows: Abu: Astatotilapia burtoni (haplochromine cichlid); Ame: Astyanax mexicanus (Mexican tetra); Cau: Carassius auratus (goldfish); Cca: Cyprinus carpio (common carp); Eha: Elops hawaiensis (Hawaiian ladyfish); Fhe: Fundulus heteroclitus (killifish); Gpe: Gnathonemus petersii (elephantnose fish); Hsp: Haplochromis spec. (haplochromine cichlid); Hhi: Hippoglossus hippoglossus (Atlantic halibut); Ipu: Ictalurus punctatus (channel catfish); Man: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (oriental weatherfish); Omy: Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout); Oni: Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia); Pfl: Platichthys flesus (European flounder); Pol: Paralichthys olivaceus (bastard halibut); Ppr: Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow); Pre: Poecilia reticulata (guppy); Psa: Pomatomus saltatrix (bluefish); Sau: Sparus aurata (gilthead seabream); Sch: Siniperca chuatsi (Chinese perch); Ssa: Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon).
