The relative timings of gene duplication events. For the 36 multigene families analyzed in this study, 52 gene duplications are detected before the invertebrate-vertebrate divide and 74 duplications are detected after invertebrate-vertebrate and before tetrapod-bony fish divergence. Only four tetrapod specific duplication events are detected. The numbers enclosed in the parentheses following gene family names represent the count of duplications experienced by family. Gene families are ordered alphabetically
