New genomic data and analyses challenge the traditional vision of animal epithelium evolution.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Peromyscus are the most common mammalian species in North America and are widely used in both laboratory and field studies. The deer mouse, P. maniculatus and the old-field mouse, P. polionotus, are closely related and can generate viable and fertile hybrid offspring. The ability to generate hybrid offspring...
