Extensive nuclear introgression accompanied ancient mitochondrial capture in the common ancestor of two sister hare species

José Costa, João Pedro Marques, Liliana Farelo, Edenise Andrade da Silva, Sofia Granja Martins, Angela Trentacoste, Greger Larson, Joel M. Alves, João Queirós, Paulo C. Alves, Pierre Boursot, José Melo‐Ferreira

The paper quantifies and localizes nuclear introgression in two hare species by combining demographic, phylogenomic, and polarisation-based methods, revealing extensive gene flow from mountain hare.

Influence of gonadal and chromosomal sex on the brain transcriptome in a mouse species with natural sex reversal

Louise D. Heitzmann, Paul A. Saunders, Julie Pérez, Pierre Boursot, Frédéric Veyrunes

The paper compares brain transcriptomes of four sexual genotypes in African pygmy mice to show that both gonadal and chromosomal sex influence gene expression, with X*Y females showing unique patterns linked to sex-linked genes.

Genome admixture among four hare species in Iberia: focus on the broom hare (Lepus castroviejoi)

João Souto, João Pedro Marques, Liliana Farelo, José Costa, João Queirós, Christian Pietri, Fernando Ballesteros, Paulo C. Alves, Pierre Boursot, José Melo‐Ferreira

This study investigates genome admixture among four hare species in Iberia, finding small introgression events from L. granatensis, L. timidus, and L. europaeus into L. castroviejoi.
