Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity

K. L. Carleton, M. Conte, M. Malinsky, S. P. Nandamuri, B. A. Sandkam, J. I. Meier, S. Mwaiko, O. Seehausen, T. D. Kocher

The paper identifies transposable element (TE)-induced indels as causative variants for visual sensitivity shifts in Lake Malawi cichlids, linking TE mobility to phenotypic diversity.

Visual pigment evolution in Characiformes: the dynamic interplay of teleost whole-genome duplication, surviving opsins and spectral tuning.

D. Escobar-Camacho, K. L. Carleton, D. W. Narain, M. E. R. Pierotti

This study examines visual pigment evolution in Characiformes, identifying mechanisms like gene duplication, conversion, and chromophore shifts that shape spectral sensitivity.

Tbx2a modulates switching of opsin gene expression

B. A. Sandkam, L. Campello, C. O'Brien, S. P. Nandamuri, W. Gammerdinger, M. Conte, A. Swaroop, K. L. Carleton

The paper identifies Tbx2a as a transcription factor that switches LWS and RH2 opsin expression in African cichlid fishes by promoting one while repressing the other.

Vision using multiple distinct rod opsins in deep-sea fishes

Z. Musilova, F. Cortesi, M. Matschiner, W. I. L. Davies, S. M. Stieb, F. de Busserolles, M. Malmstroem, O. K. Toerresen, J. K. Mountford, R. Hanel, K. S. S. Jakobsen, K. L. Carleton, S. Jentoft, J. N. Marshall, W. Salzburger

The paper identifies multiple rod opsin expansions in deep-sea fish genomes, showing that some species use multiple rod opsins for vision in dim light.
