Table 7 Predicted changes to the amino acid sequence based on cDNA alignments of genes within metabolism-related QTL that display evidence of non-neutral evolution by HapFLK analysis and have fixed differences between Río Choy surface fish and Pachón cavefish (n = 10 fish per population)

From: Genetic mapping of metabolic traits in the blind Mexican cavefish reveals sex-dependent quantitative trait loci associated with cave adaptation

  1. See Additional file 4 for gene and transcript IDs. Asterisk (*) indicates that the change is not homozygous and different between all samples and number sign (#) indicates the change is annotated relative to surface fish reference genome although that is not the most abundant variant in the surface fish samples (see Additional file 4 for details)
