- Reposted by Jean-Marc Lassance🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com! We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

- 🧬 New study out: we report a chromosome-level assembly of the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus! A launching pad for chemosensory-evolution research. Read more 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Same smell, different story: 800 deer-mouse odorant receptors have 1-to-1 homologs in mouse and rat, yet only 20 % of V1R & 7 % of V2R orthogroups are shared. Main olfactory path = stable; pheromone path = wild.
- Reposted by Jean-Marc LassanceScared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
