[i] Accession numbers are shown for the medaka nucleotide sequences used for designing primer pairs.

[ii] Primer pairs depicted in italics were first primer sets used for sequencing but not for segregation analysis.

[iii] Homology search was conducted against the nucleotide sequences of the genes from the HNI strain.

[iv] The locations of the human gene loci in the human genome were taken from the homepage (http://gdbwww.gdb.org/gdb/) or were referred to in Lyons et al. (1997).

[v] The locations of the zebrafish gene loci in the zebrafish genome were referred to Postlethwait et al. (1998).
