Elevated lysosomal mass and enzyme activity in fibroblasts of the Mediterranean mouse Mus spretus

The paper compares lysosomal characteristics between fibroblasts of two mouse species, finding elevated lysosomal mass and enzyme activity in M. spretus compared to M. musculus.

Comparative Analysis of Tickling and Conspecific Play in Tame Mice and Golden Hamsters

This study compares social play behavior in tame mice and golden hamsters during interactions with humans and conspecifics, finding differences in vocalization and interaction patterns.

Chromosome-scale genomes of two wild flowering cherrys (Cerasus itosakura and C. jamasakura) provide insights into structural evolution in Prunus

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for two wild cherry species, revealing structural variations and insights into their evolutionary relationships.

Tameness selection pressure affects gut virome diversity in mice

This study examines how selective breeding for tameness in mice affects gut virome diversity and identifies phage-host interactions linked to host behavior.

Decoding the Centromeric Region with a Near Complete Genome Assembly of the Oshima Cherry Cerasus speciosa

The paper presents a near complete genome assembly of the Oshima cherry, identifies centromeric regions, and compares them with related species to study genetic diversity and evolution.

Enhanced tameness by Limosilactobacillus reuteri from gut microbiota of selectively bred mice

This study shows that Limosilactobacillus reuteri from tamely bred mice increases tameness and oxytocin levels when administered, suggesting a role in domestication.
