Divergent genes in gerbils: prevalence, relation to GC-biased substitution, and phenotypic relevance.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Oct 2020

Dai Yichen, Pracana Rodrigo, Holland Peter W H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Two gerbil species, sand rat (Psammomys obesus) and Mongolian jird (Meriones unguiculatus), can become obese and show signs of metabolic dysregulation when maintained on standard laboratory diets. The genetic basis of this phenotype is unknown. Recently, genome sequencing has uncovered very unusual regions of high guanine and cytosine (GC) content scattered across the sand rat genome, most likely...
