nomenclature changes
18OCT2023
The gene symbol and names for the opsin gens where updated, provisionally, replacing the LOC 100497987, visual pigment-like receptor peropsin with opn6bl, visual pigment-like receptor peropsin 6b like, which combines the X.tropicalis gene /protein name with the homology group assessed for the X.laevis L homeolog, which although thought to be a 'opsin 5' group member, aligns more closely with the opsin 6b group, and is very similar to the Zebrafish opsin 6b.
This provisional naming system is currently under review, and will be submitted to the VGNC for approval & comment.
