Results indicate that speciation in two recently diverged house mouse subspecies is complex, involving many genes dispersed throughout the genome and associated with distinct functions, and suggests a key role for several mechanisms, including the regulation of transcription, sexual conflict and sexual selection operating at both the postmating prezyGotic and postzygotic stages of reproductive isolation.
Repeat associated mechanisms of genome evolution and function revealed by the Mus caroli and Mus pahari genomes

A system of matched, high-quality genome assemblies revealed how specific classes of repeats can play lineage-specific roles in related species and demonstrated that the comparison of matched phylogenetic sets of genomes will be an increasingly powerful strategy for understanding mammalian biology.

Genomic characteristics of the species boundaries between two house mouse subspecies and a striking functional polarization of genes based on where they are expressed in the cell are examined, hypothesizing that functional organization of the genome is an important driver of species divergence.
Measures of linkage disequilibrium among neighbouring SNPs indicate asymmetries across the house mouse hybrid zone

Empirical measures of LD provide evidence for extinction and (re)colonization in single populations and, together with simulations, suggest hybrid zone movement because of either geography‐dependent asymmetrical dispersal or selection favouring one subspecies over the other.

This study provides one of the first insights into genetic basis of hybrid female sterility in organisms with heterogametic males and finds that these islands were enriched for genes related to female meiosis and metabolism.

The activity of hepatic δ-aminolaevulinic acid synthetase (ALA-S), the rate controlling enzyme in the haem biosynthetic pathway5, is used as an index of porphyrin abnormality, where porphyria is present clinically or has been induced chemically in experimental animals, activity is raised.

In this study, cobalt was shown to block almost entirely the ability of the barbiturate analogue allylisopropylacetamide to induce delta-aminolevulinate synthase in liver.
