Gene movement assignment. Example of gene duplicated from Muller element A to E in D. willistoni. Direction is assigned by comparing chromosome locations between D. willistoni and its sister group and an outgroup. Movements can be a product of gene duplication or gene translocation. In some cases, the parental gene can be lost in species where the relocation occurred.
