Proposed mechanism of gene rearrangements in N. taihangnica under a model of tandem duplication of gene regions and subsequent gene deletions. a Typical Dicroglossidae gene order. b Tandem duplication in the area from the control region (CR) to trnY (Tyr) and subsequent deletions of partial genes or complete genes resulting in the derived gene order. c State in N. taihangnica. * means that the tandem replicated genes were partially deleted and # means that the tandem replicated genes were completely deleted
