Figure 5

The cyclostome check between the DRD1C and DRDE indicates that the duplication event that gave rise to these genes occurred after the divergence between cyclostomes and gnathostomes. Therefore, cyclostomes retained the ancestral condition of a single gene copy. A similar situation applies to DRD2/DRD2l and to DRD4/DRD4rs.
