Xiphophorus genetic linkage map: beginnings of comparative gene mapping in fishes.

@article{citeulike:1655497, abstract = {The explosive expansion of gene maps of mouse and man has provided strong support for hypotheses first advanced from comparing fish and mammalian genomes that the vertebrate genome was derived from multiple ancestral tetraploidizations with subsequent preferential translocations among paralogous chromosomes.
