An epigenetic mechanism for cavefish eye degeneration

2017-10-05

Abstract excerpt

Coding and non-coding mutations in DNA contribute significantly to phenotypic variability during evolution. However, less is known about the role of epigenetics in this process. Although previous studies have identified eye development genes associated with the loss of eyes phenotype in the Pachón blind cave morph of the Mexican tetra Astyanax mexicanus 1-6 , no inactivating mutations have been found in any of th...
