Single-library chromosome-scale diploid assemblies of vole genomes resolve a species-specific duplication implicated in pair bonding
2026-03-17
Abstract excerpt
Comparing prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), a species that forms lasting pair bonds and exhibits biparental care, with meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus), a non-monogamous species showing maternal care only, provides a framework to examine the genomic basis of behavioral divergence over short evolutionary time. Here, we develop a simplified assembly approach combining PacBio HiFi and CiFi sequencing in a s...
