Genome editing using TALENs in blind Mexican Cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Ma Li, Jeffery William R, Essner Jeffrey J, Kowalko Johanna E

Abstract excerpt

Astyanax mexicanus, a teleost fish that exists in a river-dwelling surface form and multiple cave-dwelling forms, is an excellent system for studying the genetic basis of evolution. Cavefish populations, which independently evolved from surface fish ancestors multiple times, have evolved a number of morphological and behavioral traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses have been performed to identify the...
