This study creates a single-nucleus RNA-seq atlas of Astyanax mexicanus embryogenesis, revealing tissue-specific transcriptional tempo shifts and developmental microevolution mechanisms.

This study examines RPE morphogenesis in fish, showing anisotropic stretching and nuclear scaling during optic cup formation, with differences between cave and surface-dwelling morphs.

The paper measures water parameters and hydrodynamics in caves and surface habitats of Astyanax mexicanus to characterize macro-, meso-, and micro-habitats.

The paper identifies cis-regulatory changes driving developmental gene expression differences between surface and blind cavefish morphs, with rx3 regulation showing both cis-autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms.

This study examines the effects of a mutation in the MAO gene of Mexican cavefish, revealing its impact on monoamine neurotransmitter homeostasis and differences between brain regions.

The paper creates a 3D molecular map of the cavefish neural plate to study eyefield organization and its borders in vertebrates, revealing structural and molecular differences between wild-type and cavefish embryos.

The paper describes methods to study early developmental processes in Astyanax mexicanus using gastruloids and chimeric embryos to investigate cell fate decisions and developmental programs.

The paper identifies defects in cell migration during eye development in blind Mexican cavefish leading to coloboma.

The paper investigates the effect of a MAO mutation on stress behavior in cavefish, finding it influences anxiety but not previously hypothesized traits.

The paper identifies maternal-regulated gastrulation heterochronies in cavefish that contribute to forebrain evolution by altering gene expression patterns during early development.
