Experimental Eye Research, 94(1), 192-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exer.2011.12.001In bony fishes, Bfsp2 orthologues are predicted to possess a C-terminal tail domain, which is absent from avian, amphibian and mammalian Bfsp2 sequences. These sequences, are however, not conserved between fish species and therefore questions whether...
