Fig. 3From: Transcriptomic analysis of cave, surface, and hybrid samples of the isopod Asellus aquaticus and identification of chromosomal location of candidate genes for cave phenotype evolutionPlacement of candidate genes on the genetic linkage map. 82 genes were placed near the region responsible for eye absence, 131 genes near the region responsible for orange (light/dark) and 177 genes near the region responsible for absence of pigment [8]. Shown in pink are a selection of genes from those lists. *Indicates that a gene was differentially expressed between CAVE_rr and SURF_rs samples. ^Indicates a gene that was found through our analysis that had been found also in the previous mapping analyses [8, 11]. Genes marked in blue were placed on the map by genotyping individuals from an existing backcross [8] and the gene name is present next to the genetic marker from the backcross for which there was the highest agreementBack to article page
