The paper reassesses the positive growth effects of random sequence clones in E. coli, showing some clones confer genuine fitness advantages independent of vector artifacts or clone competition.

This study compares genetic and phenotypic data of wild-derived mouse strains with classical laboratory strains, finding greater genetic diversity in wild strains and phenotypic differences in multiple traits.

The paper sequences full-length RNA transcripts from multiple mouse species to catalog isoform diversity and refine genome annotation.

The paper identifies sporadic over-activation of co-regulated genes with extreme outlier RNA expression in multiple species and tissues, showing these patterns are not inherited but may reflect gene regulatory network dynamics.

The paper examines sex-biased gene expression patterns in somatic tissues of mice and humans, finding rapid evolutionary turnover and overlapping variances that challenge a binary sex classification.

The paper tests the fitness effect of a de novo evolved mouse gene by comparing knockout and wildtype strains in a reproductive competition experiment.

This study evaluates the accuracy of 3D automatic landmarking by comparing its ability to detect QTLs in mouse skulls and jaws with a semi-automatic method.

The paper was withdrawn due to data inconsistencies and unsupported conclusions about the role of Peg13 in regulating sexual preference and brain transcriptome in mice.

The study shows that retroposition rates in natural mouse populations are much higher than previously thought, with most events being deleterious and affecting gene expression.

The paper tests if genes not identified in GWAS can still influence traits through modifier interactions, finding that many random genes also affect traits.

The paper studies three newly emerged genes in mice, showing they quickly integrate into functional networks without extensive adaptive changes.

This study shows that high mitochondrial heteroplasmy in mice reduces lifespan and impairs glucose metabolism.
