Relaxed selection in erythropoietic gene hemogen among high-latitude Antarctic notothenioids

Antarctic icefish (Channichthyidae) are the only vertebrate taxon with an erythrocyte-null phenotype, and present an interesting model for studying the evolution and regulation of erythropoiesis. The gene hemogen has been identified to encode a protein which plays a role in regulating erythropoietic...
