Evolutionary history of the brown rat: out of southern East Asia and selection

Lin Zeng, Chen Ming, Yan Li, Ling-Yan Su, Yan-Hua Su, Newton O. Otecko, Ambroise Dalecky, Stephen Donnellan, Ken Aplin, Xiao-Hui Liu, Ying Song, Zhi-Bin Zhang, Ali Esmailizadeh, Saeed S. Sohrabi, Hojjat Asadollahpour Nanaei, , Ya-Ping Zhang

This study sequenced whole genomes of 118 brown rats to trace their origin, migration routes, and domestication, finding they originated in southern East Asia and showing evidence of selection in immune and domestication-related genes.

Accelerated DNA evolution in rats is driven by differential methylation in sperm

Xiao-Hui Liu, Jin-Min Lian, Fei Ling, Ning Li, Da-Wei Wang, Ying Song, Qi-Ye Li, Ya-Bin Jin, Zhi-Yong Feng, Lin Cong, Dan-Dan Yao, Jing-Jing Sui

The paper investigates epigenetic and DNA variation in rat subspecies, finding that differential methylation in sperm drives accelerated DNA evolution through environment-associated chromatin changes.
