Evolutionary Changes in Left-Right Visceral Asymmetry in <i>Astyanax</i> Cavefish
2020-05-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Vertebrates show conserved left-right (L-R) asymmetry of internal organs controlled by Nodal-Pitx2/Lefty signaling [1-3]. Modifications in L-R asymmetry occur in mutants [4] and rarely in humans [5], but little is known about natural L-R changes during evolution. Here we describe changes in L-R asymmetry in Astyanax mexicanus , a teleost with ancestral surface (surface fish) and derived cave (ca...
