An evolutionary hypothesis suggested by studies of the genome of the tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes has now been confirmed by comparison with the genome of a close relative, the spotted green pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis. Ray-finned fish underwent a whole-genome duplication some 350 million years ago that might explain their evolutionary success.
通过对虎河豚(Takifugu rubripes)基因组的研究提出的一个进化假说,现已通过与近亲——斑纹绿河豚(Tetraodon nigroviridis)的基因组进行比较得到证实。辐鳍鱼在约3.5亿年前经历了一次全基因组复制,这可能解释了它们在进化上的成功。
