Parallel evolution of opsin gene expression in African cichlid fishes.
Phenotypic evolution may occur either through alterations to the structure of protein-coding genes or their expression. Evidence for which of these two mechanisms more commonly contribute to the evolution of a phenotype can be garnered from examples of parallel and convergent evolution. The visual system of East African cichlid fishes is an excellent system with which to address this question. ...
متن کاملGenetic basis of differential opsin gene expression in cichlid fishes.
Visual sensitivity can be tuned by differential expression of opsin genes. Among African cichlid fishes, seven cone opsin genes are expressed in different combinations to produce diverse visual sensitivities. To determine the genetic architecture controlling these adaptive differences, we analysed genetic crosses between species expressing different complements of opsin genes. Quantitative gene...
متن کاملCone opsin genes of african cichlid fishes: tuning spectral sensitivity by differential gene expression.
Spectral tuning of visual pigments is typically accomplished through changes in opsin amino acid sequence. Within a given opsin class, changes at a few key sites control wavelength specificity. To investigate known differences in the visual pigment spectral sensitivity of the Lake Malawi cichlids, Metriaclima zebra (368, 488, and 533 nm) and Dimidiochromis compressiceps (447, 536, and 569 nm), ...
متن کاملNodular and epicellular coccidiosis in the intestine of cyprinid fishes
In the intestine of 10 (n = 18) cyprinid fish species collected from natural waters of Hungary, the author demonstrated oocysts which were shed unsporulated In tapwater, oocysts sporulated within 24 to 48 h In 6 of the fish species, oocysts of 2 sizes were observed Histological examnations proved that, of the morphologically similar oocysts larger ones developed in nodules in size of a pinhead ...
متن کاملOntogeny of erythroid gene expression.
Erythroid ontogeny is characterized by overlapping waves of primitive and definitive erythroid lineages that share many morphologic features during terminal maturation but have marked differences in cell size and globin expression. In the present study, we compared global gene expression in primitive, fetal definitive, and adult definitive erythroid cells at morphologically equivalent stages of...
