Evolution: The genetics of trait evolution in cavefish.

Current biology : CB - 23 Aug 2021

Borowsky Richard

Abstract excerpt

Albino cavefish sleep less than their pigmented siblings. A recent study used CRISPR-Cas9-directed mutation to establish unambiguously that loss of function of a single gene, ocular and cutaneous albinism2, underlies both phenotypes, one morphological, the other behavioral.
