This paper identifies genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying tail-length variation in deer mice, showing Hoxd13 expression differences and increased presomitic mesoderm in forest ecotypes.

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 identifies Tug1 as essential for male fertility, showing it has three distinct regulatory activities: a cis DNA repressor, a trans-acting lncRNA, and a conserved peptide affecting mitochondrial function.
