The phenotypic and genetic similarities between Xiphophorus and human melanoma render Xiphophorus a useful animal model for studying the genetic basis of melanoma etiology. In the Xiphophorus model, melanoma has been shown to be inducible by ultraviolet light (UVB) exposure among interspecies hybrids, but not in parental line fish similarly treated. This leads to questions of what genes are responsive...
The genus Xiphophorus is an important vertebrate model for investigating the etiology and genetics of both spontaneous and induced cancers. Xiphophorus are comprised of 23 species most of which can be crossed to produce fertile interspecies hybrid progeny. The Xiphophorus gene map is well developed and allows genetic associations to be studied among cohorts of progeny derived from backcrossing interspecies...
