Metabolic reprogramming underlies cavefish muscular endurance despite selective loss of muscle mass and contractility. Metabolic reprogramming underlies cavefish muscular endurance despite selective loss of muscle mass and contractility

We report the shift in skeletal muscle investment strategies of the Mexican cavefish following cave colonization Overall design: Skeletal muscle extraction and RNA-sequencing of three lab-reared cavefish population (tinaja/molino/pachon), one lab-reared surface fish population (Rio Choy), one wild-caught cavefish population (pachon cave), and one wild-caught surface fish population (Rio Choy).
