Summary

The carp, Cyprinus carpio (Teleostomi), is a tetraploid species which currently expresses 52% of its duplicate enzyme loci. This level of duplicate gene expression in this cyprinid species is comparable to those observed in tetraploid Catostomidae, but higher than those in tetraploid Cobitidae.
