  • To calculate average single - or double-cone sensitivities, peak spectral sensitivities for each opsin were weighted by the fraction of their expression in each cone type using the following equations: where fi is the relative expression and λ max values from heterologously expressed O. niloticus opsins (SWS1 = 360 nm, SWS2B = 425 nm, SWS2A = 456 nm, Rh2B = 472 nm, Rh2Aα+β = 523 nm [mean], and LWS = 560 nm) [63].

  • As for the clustering of opsin expression values, we used the clValid [60] package to validate the number of single - and double-cone clusters (two to ten clusters) using the Dunn, Connectivity, and Silhouette measures of internal cluster support.
