This project contains several transcriptomes from African and Neotropical cichlids that were studied to investigate the genetic basis of coloration phenotypes.

Cichlid fishes are exceptionally diverse, with more than 2,000 species distributed across southern Asia, Africa, and the New World. Recent work has discovered unexpected...

Convergent evolution of melanic horizontal stripes has been linked to a single locus harboring the gene agouti-related peptide 2 (agrp2). However, where and when the causal...
