Genomics Sheds New Light on the Ancestral Bilaterian Opsin Repertoire and Suggests Rhabdomeric Phototransduction in Xenacoelomorpha
{{output}}
Animals use opsins, light-sensing, transmembrane proteins, to detect light, which is then converted into an electrical stimulus in the photoreceptors through a process known as phototransduction. The steady generation of genomic data has facilitated the descri... ...
