The total number of ‘official members’ (i.e. the members for which an official symbol has been assigned) in each family is shown for human and zebrafish. The number of zebrafish non-duplicated, duplicated and possibly duplicated/not obviously designated genes is also shown. Data have been obtained by GenBank database search on the Reference Zv9 Primary Assembly (July 2013).
