The paper compares SNV calls and deaminase metrics from blood and saliva exomes of healthy subjects, finding high concordance and no somatic SNVs between the two sources.

The paper characterizes gene transcription initiation in spiny mouse embryos and compares it to human and common mouse embryos, finding a more human-like pattern in spiny mice.

This paper generates a reference transcriptome for the spiny mouse using Illumina RNA sequencing and validates the EvidentialGene tr2aacds pipeline for de novo assembly.

This paper reports the first observation of menstruation in a rodent, the spiny mouse, providing a non-primate model for studying menstrual and pregnancy-related diseases.
