Quantitative genetic analysis of retinal degeneration in the blind cavefish Astyanax mexicanus.

Quantitative genetic analysis of retinal degeneration in the blind cavefish Astyanax mexicanus.

The retina is the light-sensitive tissue of the eye that facilitates vision. Mutations within genes affecting eye development and retinal function cause a host of degenerative visual diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa and anophthalmia/microphthalmia. The characin fish Astyanax mexicanus includ...
