This study constructs a pangenome for deer mice to reveal extensive structural variation and its evolutionary implications.

This study shows Pleistocene climate changes drove the diversification of deer mice and the independent evolution of arboreal ecotypes in forests.

This study analyzes the olfactory genome of deer mice to reveal conserved and divergent components of the rodent olfactory subgenome and their evolutionary implications.

This study examines gene expression differences across brain regions in two deer mouse species and their hybrids, finding widespread interspecific variation and regional modularity in gene regulation.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.
