Project description:Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing in primary fibroblasts of outbred Peromyscus maniculatus was generated to explore the degree of coordination in gene expression.
Project description:We used RNA-seq to compare transcriptional profiles from the embryonic tails from E12.5–E15.5 Peromyscus maniculatus. Samples are from two ecotypes, forest (P.m.nubiterrae) and prairie (P.m.bairdii) with different numbers of caudal vertebrae.
Project description:We used RNA-seq to estimate allelic expression bias in the embryonic tails of E12.5 and E14.5 Peromyscus maniculatus nubiterrae x bairdii. Samples are from F1 hybrids between forest (P.m.nubiterrae) and prairie (P.m.bairdii) with different numbers of caudal vertebrae.
Project description:Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing in brain tissue was generated to explore differences between young and old animals of two closely related species of deer mice (genus Peromyscus) that reportedly differ in their lifespans: P. leucopus that lives for up to 8 years and P. maniculatus that exhibits a lifespan of about 4 years.
Project description:We compare fore- and mid-brain transcriptomes of reproductive males in monogamous and non-monogamous species pairs of Peromyscus mice, Microtus voles, parid songbirds, dendrobatid frogs, and Xenotilapia species of cichlid fishes. Our study provides evidence of a universal transcriptomic mechanism underlying the evolution of monogamy in vertebrates.
