Fig. 1 Renaming of duplicated tbx2a and tbx2b genes reciprocally revealed by synteny analysis. A comparison of the tbx2 gene neighboring region in different organisms represents much higher correspondence of the zebrafish (D. rerio) tbx2b gene surroundings to other vertebrates compared with tbx2a gene surroundings. Gene naming in teleosts uses the zebrafish genome as a reference. Synteny analysis suggests a need to revise this practice by referring to the non-teleost fish genome (L. oculatus) that did not undergo teleost-specific gene duplication
