• Resumen

  • The article comments on how interbreeding among different genetic lines of blind cavefish can restore their sight. The diversity of mutations in the 29 different cavefish populations means that one group's genetic failings can be balanced by another group's functioning genes. New York University biologist Richard Borowsky found such reproductive mixing does indeed lead to cavefish offspring with working eyes.
