Duplicated genes related to pigmentation have provided new opportunities for phenotypic diversity among fishes (Braasch, Liedtke, et al. 2009) in addition to opening the evolutionary door for neofunctionalization for one of the duplicated genes to acquire a nonpigmentation-related function over time.
