Zebrafish models of cardiac disease: From fortuitous mutants to precision medicine
JM González-Rosa - Circulation research, 2022 - Am Heart Assoc
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite decades of research, most
heart pathologies have limited treatments, and often the only curative approach is heart …

Parallel and convergent genomic changes underlie independent subterranean colonization across beetles
Adaptation to life in caves is often accompanied by dramatically convergent changes across
distantly related taxa, epitomized by the loss or reduction of eyes and pigmentation …

Selection-driven trait loss in independently evolved cavefish populations
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that a single phenotype can be produced by many
different genotypes; however, in natural systems, it is frequently found that phenotypic …

Genome-wide analysis of cis-regulatory changes underlying metabolic adaptation of cavefish
Cis-regulatory changes are key drivers of adaptative evolution. However, their contribution
to the metabolic adaptation of organisms is not well understood. Here, we used a unique …

Natural selection versus neutral mutation in the evolution of subterranean life: A false dichotomy?
Throughout the evolutionary tree, there are gains and losses of morphological features,
physiological processes, and behavioral patterns. Losses are perhaps nowhere so …

High resolution genomes of multiple Xiphophorus species provide new insights into microevolution, hybrid incompatibility, and epistasis
Because of diverged adaptative phenotypes, fish species of the genus Xiphophorus have
contributed to a wide range of research for a century. Existing Xiphophorus genome …
