Interspecific variation in Rx1 expression controls opsin expression and causes visual system diversity in African cichlid fishes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2014

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms underlying natural phenotypic diversity are key to understanding evolution and speciation. Cichlid fishes are among the most speciose vertebrates and an ideal model for identifying genes controlling species differences. Cichlids have diverse visual sensitivities that result from species expressing subsets of seven cichlid cone opsin genes. We previously identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL)...
