Divergent cis-regulatory evolution underlies the convergent loss of sodium channel expression in electric fish

South American and African weakly electric fish independently evolved electric organs from muscle. In both groups, a voltage-gated sodium channel gene independently lost expression from muscle and gained it in the electric organ, allowing the channel to become specialized for generating electric sig...
