Model for the evolution of POU5F1 and POU2 in vertebrates.POU2 and POU5F1 arose by duplication of an ancestral gene in a common ancestor of Osteichthyes and Chondrichthyes. One or other gene then became extinct (indicated by dashed lines) in some lineages. The dogfish and little skate are representatives of Elasmobranchii.
