Journal ArticleDOI
Estimate of the Mutation Rate per Nucleotide in Humans
TL;DR: Comparison of rates of evolution for X-linked and autosomal pseudogenes suggests that the male mutation rate is 4 times the female mutation rate, but provides no evidence for a reduction in mutation rate that is specific to the X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Emergent trends and gaps in understanding are identified, new approaches to more fully integrate genomics into speciation research are proposed, and an integrative definition of the field of speciation genomics is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic basis of adaptive melanism in pocket mice
TL;DR: The molecular changes underlying adaptive coat color variation in a natural population of rock pocket mice, Chaetodipus intermedius, are described and four mutations in the melanocortin-1-receptor gene seem to be responsible for adaptive melanism in one population of lava-dwelling pocket mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subspecific origin and haplotype diversity in the laboratory mouse
Hyuna Yang,Jeremy Wang,John P. Didion,Ryan J. Buus,Timothy A. Bell,Catherine E. Welsh,Franãois Bonhomme,Alex Hon Tsen Yu,Michael W. Nachman,Jaroslav Piálek,Priscilla K. Tucker,Pierre Boursot,Leonard McMillan,Gary A. Churchill,Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena +14 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide, high-resolution map of the phylogenetic origin of the genome of most extant laboratory mouse inbred strains is provided, based on the genotypes of wild-caught mice from three subspecies of Mus musculus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination rate variation and speciation: theoretical predictions and empirical results from rabbits and mice
TL;DR: Both speciation and population-genetic models that make explicit predictions about how the rate of recombination influences patterns of genetic variation within and between species are reviewed and empirical data of DNA sequence variation in rabbits and mice is compared.
