Genetic analysis reveals candidate genes for activity QTL in the blind Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus

Animal models provide useful tools for exploring the genetic basis of morphological, physiological and behavioral phenotypes. Cave-adapted species are particularly powerful models for a broad array of phenotypic changes with evolutionary, developmental and clinical relevance. Here, we explored the g...
