Origin of the opsin gene duplication on the X chromosome of Old World primates. The opsin and TEX28 genes are shown as open boxes showing the approximate positions of exons and introns. The LCR and transketolase-related gene are shown as filled boxes. Details of theTEX28 and transketolase-related genes are from Hanna et al. (1997).
