Summary
The overarching goal of my w88 online sports betting is to understand how genetic changes alter development and drive the evolution of morphology and physiology. We study the Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, a species of fish that consists of river-dwelling forms and eyeless cave-dwelling forms that can be directly compared in the laboratory. In the wild, independently-evolved cavefish populations thrive in perpetual darkness on a diet of bat guano and flood debris. We use comparative genomics, genetic mapping, and gene-editing to investigate how cavefish have adapted to this harsh environment.
