Inbred or outbred? Genetic diversity in laboratory rodent colonies
Nonmodel rodents are widely used as subjects for both basic and applied biological
research, but the genetic diversity of the study individuals is rarely quantified. University-housed …

Parent-of-origin growth effects and the evolution of hybrid inviability in dwarf hamsters
Mammalian hybrids often show abnormal growth, indicating that developmental inviability
may play an important role in mammalian speciation. Yet, it is unclear if this recurrent …

Genomic imprinting, disrupted placental expression, and speciation
The importance of regulatory incompatibilities to the early stages of speciation remains
unclear. Hybrid mammals often show extreme parent-of-origin growth effects that are thought to …

Sequence features do not drive karyotypic evolution: what are the missing correlates of genome evolution?
Genome rearrangements are prevalent across the tree of life and even within species. After
two decades of research, various suggestions have been proposed to explain which features …
