Abstract 16
Circadian rhythms are nearly ubiquitous throughout nature, suggesting they are critical for 17
survival in diverse environments. Organisms inhabiting environments with arrhythmic days, such 18
as caves, offer a unique opportunity to study the evolution of circadian rhythms in response to 19
changing ecological pressures. Here we demonstrate that the cave environment has led to the 20
repeated disruption of the biological clock across multiple populations of Mexican cavefish, with 21
the circadian transcriptome showing widespread reductions in rhythmicity and changes to the 22
timing of the activation/repression of genes in the core pacemaker. Then, we investigate the 23
function of two genes with decreased rhythmic expression in cavefish. Mutants of these genes 24
phenocopy reductions in sleep seen in multiple cave populations, suggesting a link between 25
circadian dysregulation and sleep reduction. Altogether, our results reveal that evolution in an 26
arrhythmic environment has resulted in dysregulation to the biological clock across multiple 27
populations by diverse molecular mechanisms. 28

Introduction 31
Circadian rhythms that maintain 24-hour oscillations in physiology and behavior are nearly 32
ubiquitous in nature1,2. Considered an adaptive mechanism for organisms to anticipate 33
predictable changes in their environment3,4, the biological clock coordinates diverse biological 34
processes, from the sleep-wake cycle and metabolism in animals to growth and photosynthesis in 35
plants5–7. In the majority of organisms, the biological clock is endogenous, but environmental 36
time-cues (“zeitgebers”) including light and temperature play a key role in synchronizing the 37
clock with an organism’s external environment8–11. Subjecting animals to light-dark cycles that 38
differ from that of a 24-hour day has profound impacts on organismal health, including reduced 39
performance, increased illness, and decreased longevity12–14. Consequently, systems where these 40
environmental zeitgebers have been lost provide a unique opportunity to examine how ecology 41
drives evolution in the biological clock, and characterize how clock evolution affects 42
downstream physiology and behavior15. Here, we examine daily expression changes across the 43
transcriptomes of cavefish populations that evolved under darkness and relatively low daily 44
temperature variation16,17. 45
46
The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, exists as surface populations that live in rivers with 47
robust light and temperature rhythms, and at least 30 cave populations that live in perpetual 48
darkness with limited fluctuations in temperature or other environmental cues18. The existence of 49
multiple cave populations of independent origin and conspecific surface populations provides a 50
powerful comparative framework to study phenotypic evolution. Cave populations of A. 51
mexicanus have repeatedly evolved a suite of traits related to a cave-dwelling lifestyle, including 52
degenerate eyes19–21, reduced pigmentation22–25, and changes in metabolism and behavior26–35. 53
Circadian rhythms and sleep behavior are also substantially altered in cavefish27,36–38. While 54
cavefish largely maintain locomotor and physiological rhythms in light-dark conditions, many 55
populations show loss of these rhythms under constant darkness36–41. Cavefish populations have 56
also convergently evolved a drastic reduction in sleep compared to surface fish27. Alterations can 57
also be seen at the molecular level; an examination of clock genes (per1, per2, cry1a) in cave 58
and surface fish found changes in the expression level and timing of activation of these genes in 59
multiple cave populations.36 Consequently, the Mexican tetra provides a unique opportunity to 60

study the evolutionary response of the biological clock and circadian rhythms to the arrhythmic 61
cave environment across multiple cave populations. 62
63
In vertebrates, circadian rhythms are regulated by transcriptional feedback loops, where clock 64
proteins directly or indirectly regulate the expression of the genes from which they are 65
transcribed. The feedback loops of the circadian clock result in oscillations of gene expression of 66
~24 hours42. These oscillating transcripts make up the “circadian transcriptome” and are a 67
substantial source of rhythmic physiology and behavior43–45. The conserved nature of the 68
biological clock in vertebrates make comparative studies extremely powerful. Even across 69
evolutionary timescales, many clock genes and downstream regulators of circadian behavior 70
maintain similar functions.45 While many species of cave-dwelling organisms show evidence of 71
weakened or absent locomotor rhythms46–52, no global analysis of transcriptional changes 72
associated with clock evolution has been performed in any cave species, including A. mexicanus. 73
Comparing global transcriptional shifts over circadian time between cave and surface 74
populations can provide insight into naturally occurring dysregulation of the biological clock 75
across multiple cave populations. 76
77
Here we characterize and compare the circadian transcriptome of A. mexicanus surface fish with 78
that of three cave populations. We find widespread changes in the circadian transcriptome, with 79
cave populations showing convergent reductions and losses of transcriptional oscillations and 80
alterations in the phase of key circadian genes. Visualization of clock genes mRNAs of in the 81
midbrain and liver of surface and cave fish support the dysregulation observed in the RNAseq 82
data, and identify tissue-specific patterns unique to cave individuals. To functionally assess the 83
contribution of dysregulated genes to sleep and behavior, we investigate the function of two 84
genes linked to circadian regulation by creating CRISPR/cas9 mutants, and find that these genes 85
are involved in regulating sleep behavior in A. mexicanus. Our results suggest that circadian 86
rhythm, a highly conserved mechanism across most metazoans, is repeatedly disrupted at the 87
molecular level in cavefish, with potential consequences for organismal physiology and 88
behavior. 89

Fewer genes show evidence of daily cycling in cavefish populations 92
To identify changes in rhythmic expression between cave and surface populations, we performed 93
RNAseq with total RNA from whole fish from three cave populations (Molino, Pachón, and 94
Tinaja) and one surface population (Río Choy) collected every 4-hours for one daily cycle under 95
constant darkness at 30 days post-fertilization (dpf)(see Methods). Fry were raised in a light-dark 96
cycle (14:10) and then transferred into total darkness 24 hours prior to the start of the sampling 97
period. An average of 14,197,772 reads were mapped per sample (File S1, Fig. S1-4). Filtering 98
of genes with low expression (< 100 total counts across all samples) resulted in 21,048 annotated 99
genes used for downstream analysis. Although the cave populations are not monophyletic53, 100
principle component analysis showed that the primary axis of differentiation among samples is 101
habitat (i.e., cave or surface; Fig. S5). 102
103
We used JTK_cycle54 to detect 24-hour oscillations in transcript abundance. We found that the 104
surface population had the greatest number of rhythmic transcripts (539), followed by Tinaja 105
(327), Pachón (88), and Molino (83), respectively (FDR < 0.05, see Table S1). Surprisingly few 106
genes (19) showed significant cycling across all populations (Fig. 1A,B)(File S1). In all 107
populations except Molino, we found significant overlap between rhythmic transcripts in A. 108
mexicanus and those identified in zebrafish55,56 (See Methods; at p < 0.05: surface, Pachón and 109
Tinaja, all p < 1 x 10-4; Molino p = 1, hypergeometric tests). Rhythmic transcripts in both the 110
surface and cave populations were enriched for the GO terms related to circadian rhythm, 111
including “regulation of circadian rhythm” (GO:0042752)(surface, q = 4.85 x 10-10; Tinaja, q = 112
4.16 x 10-8; Pachón, q = 2.33 x 10-6; Molino, q = 4.98 x 10-6). Rhythmic transcripts in the surface 113
population were also strongly enriched for “visual perception” (GO:0007601)(q = 4.80 x 10-12), 114
“sensory perception of light stimulus” (GO:0007602) (q = 9.28 x 10-12), and “phototransduction” 115
(GO:0007602)(q = 1.14 x 10-7), unlike cave populations (lists of enriched terms in File S1). 116
117
Nearly 22% (117) of genes found to be rhythmic in the surface population were arrhythmic (p-118
value > 0.5) in all three cave populations and 77% (416) were arrhythmic in at least one cave 119
population (Table S2, File S1)(see Methods), highlighting that the loss of rhythmicity has 120
evolved independently among independent origins of the cave phenotype. Conversely, no genes 121
that were rhythmic across all caves were arrhythmic in the surface population. Genes that were 122

rhythmic in the surface population but arrhythmic in cavefish populations include genes known 123
to be involved in the regulation of circadian rhythm (Table S3). For example, arntl2 is a gene 124
that encodes a transcriptional activator that forms a core component of the circadian clock and 125
shows conserved rhythmic activity in zebrafish55 and mice57. Despite exhibiting a conserved 126
function across vertebrates, this gene is arrhythmic in all three cave populations (surface, p = 127
0.0004, q=0.02; all caves, p > 0.5). Further, in comparing the p-values of genes with known roles 128
in circadian rhythm (61 genes, see Methods, File S1), we found that these genes were 129
significantly more rhythmic in their expression in the surface population than in cave populations 130
(Wilcoxon signed rank test, p < 0.002 in all cave-surface pairwise comparisons). 131
132
Cave and surface populations show differences in periodicity and amplitude of rhythmic 133
transcripts 134
To identify genes with changes in rhythmicity between cave and surface populations, we 135
calculated a differential rhythmicity score (SDR) for each gene for each population pair58. This 136
metric accounts for both changes in how rhythmic a transcript is, as defined by differences in the 137
JTK_cycle p-value for each gene between surface and cave populations, as well as differences in 138
the robustness of a transcript’s oscillation, as defined by differences in amplitude of gene 139
expression between the cave and surface populations. We found that 103 genes showed greater 140
rhythmicity in the surface fish for all surface-cave comparisons (e.g., surface-Pachón, surface-141
Molino, surface-Tinaja; File S1)(Fig. 1C). This set of genes was highly enriched for the pathway 142
“Circadian clock system,” with a 21-fold enrichment compared to the background set of genes 143
used in this analysis (q = 9.96 x 10-11), and was the only pathway significantly enriched after 144
false-discovery rate correction. Comparatively, relatively few genes showed significantly 145
improved rhythmicity in cave populations (Fig. 1C, genes below zero for differential periodicity 146
and differential amplitude z-score), and no genes showed increases in rhythmicity across 147
multiple caves. 148
149
This unbiased assessment revealed that genes with reductions in rhythmicity in cave populations 150
include several primary and accessory components of the core transcriptional clock (Fig. 151
2A)(Table 1). In the circadian clock’s primary feedback loop, members of the (bHLH)-PAS 152
family (e.g., CLOCKs, ARNTLs) heterodimerize and bind to E-box DNA response elements to 153

transcriptionally activate key clock proteins (e.g., PERs, CRYs). Negative feedback is then 154
achieved by CRY:PER heterodimers which inhibit the CLOCK:ARNTL complex. Another 155
regulatory loop is induced by the CLOCK:ARNTL complex activating the transcription of nr1d1 156
and rorc genes (e.g., rorca and rorcb), which in turn both positively and negatively regulate the 157
transcription of arntl (see Fig. 2B). Many of the genes that transcribe these activators and 158
repressors show reductions or loss of cycling in one or more cave populations, and a few show 159
reductions in rhythmicity in all three caves (e.g., rorca, rorcb, arntl2)(Table 1, Fig. 2). 160
Reductions in rhythmicity at core clock genes suggest an overall dampening of the core circadian 161
mechanism in cave populations compared to surface forms. 162
163
Genes with reduced rhythmicity in cavefish populations also include genes involved in 164
downstream regulation of oscillations in physiology and behavior (Table 1). Among the genes 165
which show reductions in rhythmicity across all three caves is arylalkylamine N-166
acetyltransferase 2 (aanat2), which is involved in melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland59–61. 167
Aanat2 is required for the circadian regulation of sleep in zebrafish, and mutant zebrafish sleep 168
dramatically less at night due to decreased bout length, but not decreased bout number61. 169
Interestingly, cave populations show a dramatic reduction in sleep bout length compared to 170
surface fish27. Like in zebrafish59,61, the expression of aanat2 in surface A. mexicanus shows 171
robust rhythmic behavior (q = 6.6 x 10-4) with peak expression during subjective night. In 172
contrast, cavefish do not show evidence of rhythmic transcription of aanat2 (Molino, p = 1.0; 173
Tinaja, p = 0.82; Pachón, p = 0.33) and expression does not increase in these populations during 174
subjective night (Fig. 2). 175
176
Another gene that shows reductions in rhythmicity across all three caves is camk1gb, a gene 177
involved in linking the pineal master clock with downstream physiology of the pineal gland. 178
Knock-downs of this gene in zebrafish significantly disrupt circadian rhythms of locomotor 179
activity62, similar to what is observed in Pachón cavefish39,40. Camk1gb also plays a role in 180
regulating aanat2; knockdowns of camk1gb reduce the amplitude of aanat2 expression rhythm 181
by half in zebrafish62. 182

Rhythmic transcripts in cave populations show a delay in phase compared to the surface 184
population 185
Next, we investigated whether the timing of the circadian clock differs between cave and surface 186
populations by comparing the peak expression time (i.e., phase) of cycling transcripts. Most 187
circadian genes show peak expression immediately before dawn or dusk63, and consistent with 188
this, surface and cave populations of A. mexicanus all showed a bimodal distribution of phases 189
(Fig. 3A). However, this distribution was shifted towards later in the day in fish from all three 190
cave populations compared to the surface population. Our results are consistent with the 191
individual gene analysis of Beale et al.36, which showed that the clock genes per1 and cry1a 192
display phase delays in fish from the Pachón and Chica caves relative to surface fish (Fig. S6). 193
We then compared the phase of A. mexicanus genes with phase estimates of orthologous core 194
clock genes in zebrafish sampled under dark conditions55. While zebrafish and A. mexicanus 195
diverged ~146 MYA64, the timing of peak expression of core clock genes was highly similar in 196
zebrafish and surface fish (median difference of 0.8 hours between orthologs, Table S4). 197
Comparatively, the phase of clock genes in the core and accessory loops are often more shifted 198
in cave populations relative to zebrafish phase than the surface population (median shifts of 4.7, 199
2.2, and 3.5 hours for Tinaja, Molino, and Pachón, respectively)(Table S4). 200
201
To further characterize differences in phase between surface and cave populations, we compared 202
the phase of all genes with evidence for rhythmic expression across cave-surface population 203
pairs (where p < 0.05 for a gene in the surface and the cave being compared). Consistent with the 204
phase shifts observed in core clock genes and accessory loops, for each cave-surface comparison, 205
we found that rhythmic transcripts showed significantly later peak expression in cave 206
populations (Wilcoxon signed rank test, all pairwise comparisons p < 2.2 x 10-16, Table S5)(Fig. 207
3B, phase of all genes in File S1). Rhythmic transcripts in Pachón showed the greatest average 208
shift, with a delay of 2.03 hours compared to surface fish (average shift, surface-Tinaja: 1.3 209
hours, surface-Molino: 0.48 hours). 210
211
Genes with circadian cis- elements show loss of cycling and changes in phase in cavefish 212
In light of the alterations we see in the expression of genes in the circadian transcriptome, we 213
next investigated circadian cis- elements in cavefish and surface fish. In vertebrates, circadian 214

oscillations in gene expression are a consequence of interlocking transcriptional feedback loops 215
of core clock proteins binding to a combination of known cis-elements (E-box, RRE, D-box) in 216
the promoters and enhancers of target genes55,65. The timing of activator and repressor binding to 217
these cis- elements results in the phase of oscillating transcripts65. 218
219
To better understand what drives oscillation patterns in A. mexicanus, we extracted promoter 220
sequences of genes with rhythmic transcription in the surface population and identified 221
transcription factor (TF) binding motifs in each sequence (Table S6). We consider rhythmic 222
genes with significant circadian binding motifs (i.e., E-box, RRE, D-box sequences) putative 223
targets of clock proteins in the circadian feedback loop. We then used a sliding window approach 224
to identify the specific time window when the phases of circadian TF targets are most enriched in 225
surface fish (see Methods). Consistent with observations in zebrafish55, the E-box, which is 226
bound by CLOCK-ARNTL complexes as part of the core feedback loop66, showed phase-227
specific enrichment within the early peak (CT 2), and RRE elements, which are bound by RORA 228
proteins and NR1D1/NR1D2 of the accessory loop67, were enriched within the later peak (CT 229
14-16)(Fig. S7)(see Methods). The D-box, which binds the repressor NFIL3, was also enriched 230
within the early peak (CT 0-6), as in zebrafish55. The correspondence between surface A. 231
mexicanus surface fish and zebrafish suggests that the timing of key regulatory cascades 232
mediating circadian oscillations in gene expression is largely conserved between these species. 233
234
We then searched for circadian cis- elements in cavefish sequences upstream of genes that have 235
lost rhythmicity in cave populations. A large proportion of the putative targets of core clock 236
elements identified in the surface fish (e.g., genes identified as having an E-box, RRE or D-box 237
motifs in their promoter sequence as described above) do not cycle in one or more cave 238
populations: >77% are arrhythmic in at least one cave population. However, for nearly all gene 239
for which we identified a proximal circadian motif in the surface fish, we also identified a 240
binding site in cavefish (see Table S7 and Supplemental Methods). The maintenance of clock 241
binding sites in cavefish populations suggests that the reduction in the number of rhythmic 242
transcripts in cavefish is likely to be a consequence of changes in the transcription of core clock 243
genes, rather than divergence at the target cis- binding sites at downstream genes. 244

10
We then compared the phase of putative clock targets in surface fish and cavefish. Consistent 246
with the phase shifts seen in the core clock (Table S4), putative clock targets also show shifts in 247
their phase in cavefish compared to surface fish (Table S8, Fig. S7). In the case of the E-box, in 248
cave populations the phase intervals with the highest proportion of these motifs occur later (CT 249
4, 6, 6-10 in Molino, Pachón, and Tinaja, respectively) than what is seen in the surface 250
population (CT 2) (Fig. S7). In contrast, for the RRE and D-box motif, there is no phase with 251
enrichment in cave populations. 252
253
Visualization of key circadian mRNAs reveals tissue-specific expression patterns in cave and 254
surface populations 255
Our whole-fry RNAseq data suggest that rhythms in the core clock are dampened, and that 256
rhythmic transcripts arephase shifted. Teleost circadian systems are highly decentralized and 257
autonomous core clock gene expression may be observed in many tissues68–70, and tissue-specific 258
differences may be obscured in whole organisms preparations71. 259
260
To address potential tissue-specific contributions to differences between cave and surface 261
populations, we used RNAscope® fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)72. We collected 262
brains and livers from individual 30dpf fry at 3 timepoints (CT0, CT8, and CT16)70 and 263
performed RNA FISH for key circadian mRNAs in the primary loop (per1 and arntl1a) and 264
regulatory loop (rorca and rorcb) (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Hayward, CA, USA, see 265
Methods for details and controls). Brains were sectioned to allow visualization of the optic 266
tectum and periglomerular grey zone (Fig. S8). These are both sites showing significant clock 267
gene expression in zebrafish and these brain structures were consistently identifiable despite the 268
small size of the 30dpf midbrain73. 269
270
We find that temporal expression patterns of per1a and arntl1a mRNA in the midbrains of 271
surface fish is consistent with our RNAseq results and expression patterns in zebrafish55 (Fig. 4, 272
‘B’). Per1a expression peaks strongly at dawn (CT0) and rapidly diminishes. Arntl1a cycles in 273
anti-phase and shows high expression at dusk (CT16). In contrast, cavefish show a number of 274
population specific alterations to the temporal expression of per1a and arntl1a over the day (Fig. 275

with phase shift at this gene seen in whole fish (Fig. S6). Where per1a expression rapidly 277
diminishes in surface midbrain after CT0, expression of per1a persists through CT8 in cave 278
populations. Surprising, Tinaja per1a expression is at its lowest at CT0, when the surface 279
population per1a expression is greatest. Similarly, we see the persistence of arntl1a expression 280
in Tinaja and Molino outside of CT16, the primary window of expression in the surface 281
populations. Molino midbrains in particular showed high basal expression compared to the 282
surface, specifically at CT8 when per1a and arntl1a expression is nearly absent in surface fish 283
(Figs. S10, S12). 284
285
Temporal expression patterns for per1a and arntl1a in surface fish is also similar to zebrafish 286
(Fig. 4, ‘L’). Surface fish liver expression of per1a and arntl1a are largely in synchrony with the 287
expression of these genes in surface midbrain, however, expression of per1a and arntl1a in the 288
liver is also seen at the intermediate timepoint, CT8. Compared to surface, Pachón and Tinaja 289
livers show similar arntl1a expression but peak expression of per1a is delayed (occurring at CT8 290
instead of CT0). Per1a expression persists in Pachón and Tinaja at CT16, when per1a transcripts 291
are low in surface livers. Intriguingly, peak and trough expression in Pachón and Tinaja livers 292
appear to be out of sync with those in the midbrains (Fig. 4, ‘L’ vs. ‘B’). Per1a expression in 293
Tinaja liver is greatest at CT8, but is expressed highest in brains at CT16. In Pachón midbrains, 294
per1a expression is highest at CT0, but expression is highest in the livers at CT8 and CT16. In 295
contrast, Molino livers exhibit temporal expression of per1a that is synchronous with brains. 296
However, as with the midbrain, per1a has high basal expression in Molino compared to surface, 297
Pachón, and Tinaja. 298
299
Next, we examined the expression pattern and timing of rorca and rorcb, two gene members of 300
the regulatory loop that regulate the expression of arntl paralogs and circadian transcription67. 301
Our RNAseq results indicate that rorca and rorcb show peak expression in whole surface fish at 302
CT12 (Fig. 5, S13), similar to what has been observed in zebrafish (Table S4). Consistent with 303
this, in RNA FISH of surface fish livers and midbrains, rorca and rorcb expression was highest 304
midday (Fig. 5, S13). Temporal expression of rorca and rorcb was similar between livers and the 305
midbrain in cave populations. When compared to surface tissues, the expression of rorca and 306
rorcb is delayed in Pachón and much broader in Tinaja and Molino populations. Molino 307

12
midbrains have high expression of rorca and rorcb compared to all other populations. In 308
addition, rorcb expression is seen across timepoints in all caves, particularly in Molino, whereas 309
it is nearly absent in surface fish at CT0 and CT8 (Fig. 5). 310
311
Thus, as observed in the whole organism RNAseq analysis, tissue-specific expression of these 312
primary loop and regulatory loop genes confirm the phase shifts and dysregulation of cavefish 313
transcripts compared to surface fish, though, our RNAscope analysis suggests that disruptions to 314
the temporal regulation per1a and arntl1a expression may not manifest uniformly across tissues 315
in Pachón and Tinaja cavefish (Fig. 4). 316
317
Aanat2 and rorca regulate sleep behavior in surface fish 318
The circadian clock plays an important role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle70. We have found 319
that expression of the genes in the core pacemaker, as well as a circadian sleep regulator 320
(aanat2), are differentiated between cave and surface populations (see Fig. 2). Cavefish 321
populations have repeatedly evolved towards a reduction in sleep at night and overall, raising the 322
question of whether dysregulation of the biological clock is contributing to changes in sleep 323
behavior between cave and surface populations. However, the function of circadian genes in A. 324
mexicanus sleep regulation has not been investigated. 325
326
To explore the role of clock genes in sleep regulation in A. mexicanus, we created crispant 327
surface fish mosaic for mutations in aanat2 and rorca. Rorca and aanat2 were selected because 328
they show differences in expression between the surface and all cave populations, and because 329
aanat2 plays an important role sleep regulation in zebrafish61. Mutagenized 30 dpf fish and 330
wildtype (WT) sibling controls were phenotyped for sleep behavior. Raw locomotor behavior 331
was processed to quantify sleep duration and behavioral architecture (locomotor distance, 332
waking activity, sleep bout duration, and sleep bout number) as previously described38,74. For 333
each injected construct, three separate biological replicates were carried out to ensure the 334
phenotype was consistently reproducible. Genotyping confirmed mutagenesis (Figs. S14, S15). 335
336
Aanat2 crispants demonstrate the role of this gene in the regulation of sleep in A. mexicanus. 337
While there was no difference in total sleep duration between WT surface and aanat2 surface 338

13
fish crispants (unpaired t-test, p = 0.98, Fig. 6A), night sleep duration (minutes/hour) was 339
significantly reduced in aanat2 crispants (unpaired t-test, p = 0.0108, Fig. 6B,C). These results 340
are consistent with the function of this gene in zebrafish, where increased expression of this gene 341
during subjective night increases melatonin production, regulating nighttime sleep61. Zebrafish 342
aanat2 knockout mutants produce little or no melatonin and sleep almost half as much during the 343
night as control fish61. 344
345
Rorca crispants also show differences in sleep behavior compared to WT surface fish. Like 346
aanat2 crispants, rorca mutants sleep significantly less minutes per hour at night compared to 347
WT sibling fish (unpaired t-test, p < 0.0001, Fig. 6E,F); however, rorca crispants also sleep less 348
overall during a 24-hr period (unpaired t-test, p < 0.0001, Fig. 6D). While WT surface fish sleep 349
an average of 5.16 hours per 24-hr period, rorca surface mutants sleep just 2.26 hours per 24-hr 350
period. Rorca expression has not been previously associated with sleep regulation, but it is a 351
transcriptional regulator of the core clock gene arntl1a/b. The mammalian ortholog of arntl1a/b, 352
arntl1, has been implicated as a regulator in the sleep-wake cycle and deletions alter sleep 353
behavior in mammals75–77. Altogether, these results demonstrate that alterations to the biological 354
clock in surface fish can alter sleep behavior. Future investigations into the specific genetic 355
variants between surface and cavefish will help delimit the role of the biological clock in 356
cavefish sleep phenotypes. 357
358
Discussion 359
Circadian rhythms are nearly ubiquitous in eukaryotes, directing aspects of behavior, physiology, 360
and metabolism2. The biological clock is thought to provide a mechanism for organisms to 361
synchronize their physiology and behavior to predictable daily cycles3,4. However, we have a 362
limited understanding of how the biological clock is altered in the face of arrhythmic 363
environments, where organisms are isolated from regular environmental cues15,36,42,78,79. Caves 364
provide a natural laboratory for perturbations to circadian biology: isolated from light-dark 365
cycles and with little fluctuation in temperature, cave-dwelling organisms lack many of the 366
environmental stimuli found outside caves15,16,36. 367

Here we have utilized comparisons between conspecific Astyanax mexicanus cavefish and 369
surface fish to explore changes to the biological clock following adaptation to the cave 370
environment. Using RNAseq to survey gene expression changes over a 24-hr period, we 371
identified several repeated alterations in the biological clock in cavefish populations, including: 372
1) a reduction in the number of transcripts with evidence of daily cycling, 373
2) the changes in the oscillation patterns of genes in the primary circadian feedback loop (e.g., 374
arntl2, arntl1a/b, cry1ba, cry1bb) and accessory loops (rorca/b, bhlhe40/1), and 3) an overall 375
delay in phase of the genes in the circadian transcriptome, including core clock genes and their 376
putative targets. Population genetic analyses indicate that a number of genes in the circadian 377
transcriptome are also genetically differentiated between the surface and one or more cave 378
populations (see Supplemental Material and Methods). Visualization of mRNAs of core (arntl1a, 379
per1a) and accessory loop (rorca, rorcb) in the midbrain and the liver of cave and surface fish 380
support changes in the regulation of key clock genes and highlight tissue-specific changes in the 381
expression of core clock genes in two of the cavefish populations relative to surface fish. The 382
decoupling of rhythms between tissues in caves is an interesting biological feature that warrants 383
further investigation across more tissues in these populations. 384
385
In addition to changes in the core and accessory loops, we also found that an important regulator 386
of circadian physiology, aanat2, shows reductions in rhythmicity across all three cave 387
populations. Aanat2 encodes a protein that regulates melatonin production in the pineal gland, 388
and robust expression of this gene is considered a marker for circadian clock function59,61,80,81. 389
We found that cavefish populations, unlike surface fish and other teleosts82, did not show 390
increased aanat2 expression during the subjective night (Fig. 2), making dysregulation of the 391
circadian clock an interesting candidate for the repeated changes in sleep regulation in seen 392
across cavefish populations27. Investigating the function of aanat2 and rorca through the 393
creation of aanat2 and rorca crispants revealed that these genes play a role in sleep regulation in 394
A. mexicanus. Consequently, we speculate that dysregulation of the biological clock may have 395
behavioral consequences for cavefish, and in particular, may contribute to the reductions in sleep 396
seen across cavefish populations. 397

Beyond the regulation of circadian physiology, environmental light plays an essential role in cell 399
cycle control and activating DNA repair in teleosts83–86. Previous work in this system has found 400
that cave populations of A. mexicanus show higher levels of DNA repair activity and increased 401
expression of DNA repair genes in the dark36. As a common light signaling pathway controls 402
both DNA repair and clock entrainment, one purposed mechanism for this is that cavefish have 403
sustained upregulation of clock genes normally driven by light, akin to ‘perceiving’ sustained 404
light exposure36. While we found that DNA repair genes are more often upregulated in cave 405
populations (Table S10, see Supplemental Material and Methods), we did not find that genes 406
associated with light induction were more likely to be upregulated in cavefish compared to 407
surface fish under dark-dark conditions (Table S11). Nor did we find that light-activated genes in 408
the core circadian feedback loop are consistently upregulated in cave populations (see 409
Supplemental Material and Methods, Figure S16). Thus, more work is necessary to understand 410
the relationship between clock evolution and DNA repair in this system. 411
412
Altogether, these results suggest that highly conserved features of circadian biology have been 413
repeatedly disrupted across populations of cavefish. Further research on the molecular basis of 414
clock dysregulation will help delineate if clock dysfunction is a consequence of molecular 415
alterations to (1) the pathways that perceive, or synchronize the biological clock to, external 416
stimuli, or (2) alterations to the core transcriptional feedback loop, and whether this 417
dysregulation is a consequence of selection or drift after the movement into the cave 418
environment. 419
420
Methods 421
Sampling 422
Samples from each population were derived from the same mating clutch and raised in 14:10 423
light-dark cycle. All fish were exactly 30 days post fertilization at the start of the experiment. 424
Fish were kept in total darkness for 24 hours prior to sampling and throughout the duration of the 425
experiment. Six replicates were first sampled at 6am (Circadian Time 0) and then every four 426
hours throughout until 2am (corresponding to CT 20). During the experiment, fish were fed ad 427
libitum twice daily, in the morning and evening (exactly at 8am and 8pm). Individuals were 428
immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted from the whole organism with 429

extraction batch randomized for time of sampling and population. Samples were sequenced on 430
the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform to produce 125-bp paired-end reads (File S1) using strand-431
specific library preparations. Samples were randomized across lanes relative to population and 432
time of sampling. Previous work showed no extraction batch or lane effect on these samples87. 433
434
Read mapping 435
Reads were cleaned of adapter contamination and low-quality bases with Trimmomatic 436
(v0.33)88. Cleaned reads were mapped to the A. mexicanus draft genome assembly v1.02 437
(GCA_000372685.1) with STAR89 and reads overlapping exonic regions were counted with 438
Stringtie (v1.3.3d)90 based on the A. mexicanus Ensembl v91 annotation. Genes with fewer than 439
100 reads across all samples were removed from the analysis. Reads were subsequently 440
normalized for library size and transformed with a variance stabilizing transformation with 441
DESeq291 for principle component analysis. 442
443
Identification of rhythmic transcripts 444
Rhythmic transcripts with 24-h periodicity were identified using the program JTK_cycle54, using 445
one 24-h cycle, with a spacing of 4 hours and 6 replicates per time point. JTK_cycle was also 446
used to estimate the amplitude and phase of each rhythmic transcript. We retained genes as 447
rhythmic at an False Discovery Rate (FDR) of 5%. Our overall result, that more genes are 448
cycling in the surface population that in cave populations (Table S1), was insensitive to specific 449
value of the FDR cut-off. We defined arrhythmic transcripts at p-value > 0.5, a conservative cut-450
off for arrhythmic expression that has been used in other studies58,92. 451
452
Differential rhythmicity analysis 453
To identify differential rhythmicity between pairs of populations, we calculated a differential 454
rhythmicity score (SDR) for genes with a JTK_cycle p-value < 1 in either population. As in 455
Kuintzle et al.58, SDR was defined as: 456

Where Zp is the Z-score for changes in periodicity between populations, where changes in 459
periodicity are defined as log(p -value of population 1) – log(p -value of population 2). ZR is the 460
Z-score computed for changes in amplitude between populations, where changes in amplitude 461
are defined as: log2(Amplitude of population 2 / Amplitude of population 1). Amplitude for each 462
gene was estimated with JTK_cycle. 463
464
We then computed a p-value for SDR values using a Gaussian distribution based on the fit to the 465
empirical distribution. We used R’s p.adjust to perform a Benjamini & Hochberg correction for 466
multiple testing (Table S9). 467
468
Promoter analysis of rhythmic genes 469
We defined putative promoters as the region 1-kb upstream to 200bp downstream from the 470
transcription start site (TSS). Population genetic data53 was used to identify variants with 471
putative promoter regions segregating between populations and create alternative reference 472
genomes for each population. Genes with a JTK_cycle FDR < 0.1 in the surface were used to 473
identify phase enrichment of circadian cis- elements in the surface population. FIMO of the 474
MEME suite93 was used to identify motifs in each promoter. FIMO was used to estimate p-475
values for motifs in each sequence; motifs with p-values < 0.0001 (the default cut-off) were 476
considered for downstream analyses. To identify phase-specific enrichment of binding motifs, 477
we tested sliding windows of time with Fisher’s exact tests for motifs in phase versus motifs out 478
of phase compared to the total set of in- and out- of phase genes. To compute changes in phase of 479
genes that are putative targets of circadian transcription factors between surface and cave 480
populations, we calculated the minimum distance between the two phases based on a 24-h 481
clock. Further details of this analysis are available in the Supplemental Methods. 482
483
Tissue preparation for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) 484
Pachón, Molino, Tinaja, and surface fish derived from the Río Choy population were raised in 485
densities of 20-25 individuals/3L tank in 14:10LD cycle at 23°C and 750-800μS/cm 486

29dpf fish were placed in constant darkness in the dark phase of the day preceding tissue 489
collection. 30dpf fish were fed ad libitum at 8am and 8pm on the day of tissue collection. 490
Individual fish were euthanized in MS-222 at CT0, CT8, and CT16. Experiments were 491
performed in duplicate: two fish were euthanized and dissected at each time point from each 492
population. All efforts were made to reduce light exposure prior to fixation. Dissected brains and 493
livers were placed into a freshly prepared solution of 4% PFA in DEPC 1X PBS on ice. Samples 494
were transferred to room temperature after 3-5 minutes on ice and allowed to fix for 1 hour. 495
Samples were then placed at 4°C for 36 hours. After 36 hours, samples were rinsed briefly in 496
DEPC water and washed in DEPC 1X PBS three times for 15 minutes with constant shaking. A 497
graded EtOH wash was performed (30%- 50%- 70%- 100%) in DEPC treated water with 5 498
minutes between steps. 499
500
Tissue processing and paraffin embedding were performed with a PATHOS Delta hybrid tissue 501
processor (Milestone Medical Technologies, Inc, MI, USA)95. Paraffin sections were cut with 502
12μm thickness using a Leica RM2255 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc. Buffalo Grove, IL, 503
USA) under RNase free conditions. Brains were sectioned coronally through the mesencephalon-504
diencephalon to allow visualization of the optic tectum and periventricular grey zone, sites 505
showing significant clock gene expression in zebrafish73 (Fig. S8). We were unable to 506
consistently section through the same region of the brain in order to compare expression in 507
hypothalamic nuclei due to the size of 30dpf brains73. Livers were sectioned longitudinally. 508
Sections were mounted on SureBond charged microscope slides (cat#SL6332-1, Avantik, 509
Springfield, NJ, USA). To allow for comparison between populations, all brains or livers from a 510
single probe set were processed at once (e.g., rorca-rorcb brains from all populations, and all 511
time points were processed at the same time). In addition, brains or livers from each time point 512
(CT0, CT8, CT16) were processed on a single slide to allow for a direct comparison between 513
time points within populations. 514

Probes were ordered for two-plexing (per1a-arntl1a and rorca-rorcb) to provide an internal 521
control in each sample for mRNA phase and quantity. Probes may be ordered at the ACD Online 522
Store using the following catalog numbers: per1a (590801), arntl1a (590831-C2), rorca 523
(590811), and rorcb (590821-C2). In situ hybridization of per1a, arntl1a, rorca, and rorcb 524
mRNA was performed on paraffin sections using RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Detection 525
Kit v2 (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Hayward, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s 526
protocol. 527
528
Slides were stored in the dark at 4°C before imaging. Fluorescent images of sections were taken 529
with a Nikon Eclipse TI equipped with a Yokogawa CSU W1 spinning disk head and 530
Hamamatsu ORCA-Flash 4.O camera for high-resolution imaging using a Nikon 20x/0.75 Plan 531
Apo objective. Probes rorca and per1a were imaged with 561nm laser and collected with an 532
ET605/70m emission filter, and arntl1a and rorcb with 633nm laser and collected with an 533
ET700/75m emission filter. DAPI was excited at 405nm and collected with an ET455/50m 534
emission filter. Samples were identified automatically for imaging using a custom script as in 535
Guo et al.96, and each sample was imaged as a tile scan with 10% overlap and z-stack of depth of 536
18µm with 0.9 µm optical slice thickness. Microscope and camera settings during acquisition 537
were identical across all samples to allow for a direct comparison between timepoints and 538
populations. Image processing in Fiji97 was identical between populations and time points within 539
a tissue and probe set. Briefly, tiles were stitched into a complete image using Grid/Collection 540

surface populations, we set the intensity ranges for each image to that of the surface sample 542
images (Fig. 4). The intensities of Molino and Tinaja brain images in Fig. S11 are adjusted for 543
oversaturation. Figs. 4 and 5 exclude the DAPI channel. Corresponding DAPI staining for these 544
figures can be found in Fig. S9. Images are representative of two fish collected from each 545

each channel. To allow for a comparison of relative expression per cell from multiple samples, 551
DAPI intensity was measured as a proxy for cell density, and FISH signal intensity was 552
normalized against DAPI intensity for each region. Technical replicates (two to three sections 553
from the same liver or brain) were averaged to make biological replicates represented as points 554
in Fig. S10. All groups have two biological replicates with the exception of rorca-rorcb Pachón 555
brains which have only one due to sample loss. Graphing and statistical analysis were performed 556
using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad, Prism version 8.3.0, GraphPad Software, San Diego, 557
California USA). For each mRNA probe, cave population means were compared with the control 558
mean (Surface) within timepoints using 2-way ANOVA. Dunnett's test was used to correct for 559
multiple comparisons across populations and timepoints. Original data underlying this part of the 560

CRISPR/Cas9 design and genotyping 564
Functional experiments were performed by generating crispant fish mosaic for mutations in 565
aanat2 and rorca. CRISPR gRNAs were designed using ChopChop v3 software99. gRNAs were 566
designed to target an exon in each of the genes and to produce a double stranded break close to a 567
restriction enzyme site for genotyping purposes. For aanat2, the gRNA was 5’-568
GGTGTGCCGCCGCTGCCGGA-3’ and for rorca the gRNA was 5’-569
gGAGAACGGTAACGGCGGGCA-3’ where the lower case g at the 5’ end was added to the 570
sequence for T7 transcription (restriction enzyme target sites are underlined). gRNAs were 571
synthesized as previously described100 with modifications101,102. Briefly, gRNA specific oligos 572
were synthesized (IDT) that contained the gRNA target site, T7 promoter, and an overlap 573

Each oligo A was annealed to the oligo B: 579
580
and these annealed oligos were amplified. gRNAs were transcribed using the T7 Megascript kit 581
(Ambion), as in Klaassen et al.103 and Stahl et al.102, and purified using a miRNeasy mini kit 582
(Qiagen). Nls-Cas9-nls104 mRNA was transcribed using the mMessage mMachine T3 kit (Life 583
Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions and purified using the RNeasy MinElute 584
kit (Qiagen) following manufacturer’s instructions. 150 pg Cas9 mRNA and 25 pg aanat2 gRNA 585
or 150 pg Cas9 mRNA and 25 pg rorca gRNA were injected into single-cell surface fish 586
embryos (2 nL/embryo were injected). 587
588
Genomic DNA from injected embryos and wild-type (uninjected) controls was extracted at 48 589
hours post-fertilization101,102 and used for genotyping by PCR to determine if mutagenesis was 590
achieved at the locus through gel electrophoresis (Figs. S14, S15). Briefly, gRNAs were 591
designed to disrupt specific restriction enzyme sites; samples were incubated with that restriction 592
enzyme to determine if the Cas9 cut. The undigested fragment acts as a control while the 593
digested fragment is used to genotype. Cases where we see a band where the undigested 594
fragment is indicates that the restriction enzyme was not able to cut due to the site being 595
disrupted because of the CRISPR/Cas9 + gRNA. Gene specific primers are given in File S1. 596
PCRs were performed with a 56 °C annealing temperature and a 1-minute extension time for 35 597
cycles. The resulting PCR product was split in half, and one half was restriction enzyme 598
digested. A DNA fragment containing the aanat2 target fragment was digested with BbvI (New 599
England Biolabs Inc.). The rorca DNA fragment was digested with Cac8I (New England 600
Biolabs). Both DNA fragments were digested at 37 °C for 1 hour. 601
602
For wildtype individuals, the PCR fragment was used for cloning. For crispant fish, restriction 603
enzyme digests were performed (as described above) and the uncleaved bands were gel purified 604
using a gel extraction kit (Qiagen). PCR products were cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector 605
(Promega), and three clones per individual were picked, grown, and purified using QIAprep Spin 606

Quantifying sleep behavior 610
30 dpf injected crispant fish and WT (uninjected) sibling controls were used for all behavioral 611
experiments. Fish were maintained on a 10-14 light-dark cycle throughout development as well 612
as for behavioral experiments. Fish were placed in 12-well tissue culture plates (Cellstar) 18-24 613
hours before behavioral recording to acclimate to the recording chamber. Fish were fed normal 614
brine shrimp meals before the start of the recording, which began at ZT0 (zeitgeber time) and 615
lasted 24 hours. Video recordings were processed in Ethovision XT (v13). Raw locomotor data 616
was processed with custom-written scripts to quantify sleep duration and behavioral architecture 617
such as locomotor distance, waking activity, sleep bout duration, and sleep bout number38,74. For 618
each injected construct, three separate biological replicates were carried out to ensure the 619
phenotype was consistently reproducible. Each biological replicate represented different clutches 620
of fish, injected on different days. Both wildtype and crispant individuals were assessed from 621
each clutch. 622

Figure 1. A. Overlap of genes with rhythmic expression between populations. B. Heatmap of 912 genes with rhythmic patterns in surface fish (Río Choy), ordered by gene phase, compared to 913 expression in cave populations. Each column represents gene expression at a single-time-point, 914 sampled every four hours from 0-20 hours. Redder boxes correspond to higher expression. C. 915 Identifying genes with changes in rhythmicity between cave and surface populations. Genes with 916 greater amplitude values have larger differences between their expression peak and trough, 917 where genes with greater periodicity show stronger cyclical oscillation patterns (see Methods). 918 Genes are colored based on their SDR q-values. Genes with positive values for both show 919 increased rhythmicity in the surface population, where genes with negative values show 920 increased rhythmicity in cave populations. 921 922

Figure 2. A. Key circadian genes with changes in rhythmicity in cave populations (see Fig. S17 925 for all core circadian genes with changes in rhythmicity). Colored lines represent a loess 926 regression of gene expression through time for each population. B. Simplified schematic of the 927 circadian feedback loops based on proposed interactions in zebrafish43,45,55. Grey boxes indicate 928 genes that are either arrhythmic or show significantly reduced rhythmicity between cave and 929 surface. White boxed genes do not show significant differences between cave and surface. 930 Highlighted in yellow is the core loop. Bright yellow circles represent regulating protein 931 complexes. Red lines indicate negative regulation, black lines indicate positive regulation. Genes 932 that are not boxed did not show evidence of rhythmic expression in any cave or surface 933 population. Dotted lines are for visual clarity. Genes without an annotated ortholog in cavefish 934 were not included in the schematic. 935

Figure 4. Temporal expression patterns of per1a and arntl1a in brain and liver tissue in 943 Astyanax mexicanus populations. In-situ staining of per1a (cyan) and arntl1a (magenta) using 944 RNAscope® in the midbrain (‘B’, top panels for each timepoint) and liver (‘L’, bottom panels 945 for each timepoint) of surface fish and cavefish (Pachón, Tinaja, Molino) at CT0, CT8, and 946 CT16. Each time point is a single fish sample with probes separated into two channels. Images 947 are representative sections of two fish collected per time point, per population. Scale bar is 948 25μM. 949

Figure 6. Mutant aanat2 and rorca fish reveal a role for these genes in sleep behavior in A. 963 mexicanus. A. Total sleep is not significantly altered between control and aanat2 crispant surface 964 fish (unpaired t-test, p=0.99). B-C. Day sleep is not significantly altered between WT and 965 crispant aanat2 fish (unpaired t-test, p=0.55). Night sleep is significantly reduced in aanat2 966 crispants compared to WT controls (unpaired t-test, p<0.0001). C. Total sleep is significantly 967 reduced in crispant rorca fish compared to WT controls (unpaired t-test, p<0.0001). E-F. Day 968 sleep was not significantly altered between WT and rorca crispants (unpaired t-test, p=0.056). 969 Night sleep is significantly reduced in rorca crispants compared to WT controls (unpaired t-test, 970 p<0.0001). 971 972 973 974
