Gene and allele-specific expression during electric organ ontogeny in African weakly electric fish (Campylomormyrus).

Abstract excerpt

The African weakly electric fish use their muscle-derived electric organ to produce electric organ discharge (EOD) for electrocommunication and electrolocation. The EOD among species of the genus Campylomormyrus and cross-species hybrids is species-specific and varies during ontogeny. We compared the gene expression patterns and allele-specific expression between juvenile and adult in C. compressirostris (EOD...
