3 Supplementary Materials fig. S1. Gene coding region (CDS) inferred vertebrate opsin gene phylogeny. The pearlside retinal transcriptomes (n = 5 per species) contained three opsin genes (one rod opsin and two cone

4 opsins) (darker coloured boxes). Note that the rh2 cone opsins cluster as sisters within pearlside species suggesting two separate duplication events. However, as shown in fig. S5, gene conversion affecting the rh2 CDS is the cause of this pattern and the duplication is therefore likely to have occurred ancestrally. Vertebrate ancient (va) opsin gene sequences from five fish and one reptile species were used as outgroups to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship. Node numbers depict Bayesian posterior probabilities. GenBank Accession Numbers are depicted after the species names, pearlside specific accession numbers are given in table S4.

6 fig. S3. Vertebrate Gα transducin gene phylogeny. The pearlside retinal transcriptomes (n = 5 M. mucronatus; n = 4 M. muelleri) contained three alpha transducin genes (one rod transducin and two cone transducin). Mammalian taste transducing alpha subunit (gnat3) was used as outgroup to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship. Node numbers depict Bayesian posterior probabilities. GenBank Accession Numbers are depicted after the species names, pearlside specific accession numbers are given in table S4.

7 fig. S4. Vertebrate arrestin gene phylogeny. The pearlside retinal transcriptomes (n = 5 M. mucronatus; n = 4 M. muelleri) contained four arrestin genes (two rod arrestins and two cone arrestins). The arrestin of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis (ciarr) was used as an outgroup sequence to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship. Node numbers depict Bayesian posterior probabilities. GenBank accession numbers are depicted after the species names, pearlside specific Accession Numbers are given in table S4.

8 fig. S5. rh2 opsin gene conversion phylogeny. Using the information contained in the 3 - untranslated regions (3 -UTRs) and the last 50 bp of exon 5 revealed the ancestral origin of the duplicated pearlside rh2 genes, and shows that gene conversion affecting the gene coding sequences (CDS) within pearlside species may have maintained an almost identical function of these gene products (also see Fig. 3, and fig. S2).

9 fig. S6. Topographic distribution of rod-like cone photoreceptors in three individuals of M. muelleri. (A to C) individuals S2004, S2005, S3001, respectively (refer to table S5). The black lines represent iso-density contours, and values are expressed in densities x 10 4 cells/mm 2. The arrows indicate the orientation of the retina. N = nasal, V = ventral. Scale bar = 1 mm. (D and E) wholemount view of the photoreceptors in a high-density (D) and low-density (E) area. Scale bar 10 µm.

10 fig. S7. Topographic distribution of ganglion cells (excluding amacrine cells and glial cells) in three individuals of M. muelleri. (A to C) individuals S2005, S2006, S3002, respectively (refer to table S5). The black lines represent iso-density contours, and values are expressed in densities x 10 3 cells/mm 2. The arrows indicate the orientation of the retina. N = nasal, V = ventral. Scale bars = 1 mm. (D and E) light micrographs of the Nissl-stained ganglion cells in a low-density (D) and highdensity (E) area. gc = ganglion cell, ac = amacrine cell, g = glial cell. Scale bars = 25 µm.

11 fig. S8. Expression of rh2 and rh1 opsin genes from sectional RNA in situ hybridization analyses of the eye of M. muelleri. (A to D) rh2 labeling and (E to H) rh1 labeling. (D and E) show the entire retina labelled with either rh2 (D) or rh1 (E). (A to C) higher magnification images of the black boxes in (D) from top to bottom, respectively. (F-H) higher magnification images of the black boxes in (E) from top to bottom, respectively. Note that while rh2 was labelled everywhere in the retina, rh1 labelled cells (arrowheads in F-H) were very sparse and nearly exclusively found in the retinal margins of the retina. Scale bars = 100 µm (A to C, F to H), 1 mm (D, E).

12 fig. S9. Location of the true rod photoreceptors and their distribution across the retina in M. muelleri. (A) Rod photoreceptors labeled with anti-rhodopsin antibody and (B) distribution of the true rods across the retina (B). Each dot on the map in (B) represent one labeled cell. The black arrows indicate the orientation of the retina. N = nasal, V = ventral. Scale bars (A) = 1 µm, (B) = 1 mm.

13 reference sequence allele 4 allele 3 allele 2 allele 1 fig. S10. Manual approach to extract genes from back-mapped reads. Using a heterozygous individual to map unassembled reads against a reference sequence reveals a polymorphic site with four distinct single polynucleotide polymorphism (SNP) combinations (alleles) i.e. two gene copies (copy 1 = alleles 1 and 3; copy two = alleles 2 and 4). The copy specific SNPs in combination with the paired-end information were then used to manually reconstruct sequences by moving from SNP to SNP along the reference sequence.
