Mapping a cave fish genome: polygenic systems and regressive evolution.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Borowsky R, Wilkens H

Abstract excerpt

We used random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting to generate anonymous DNA markers in the fish Astyanax mexicanus, a species with both surface and cave populations. Surface individuals are eyed and pigmented; troglobitic forms are blind and depigmented. We hybridized surface fish and Pachon population cave fish and produced a RAPD genomic map 1064 cM in length (about half the total length of the...
