Embryonic Development of the Deer Mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Deer mice, or Peromyscus maniculatus, are an emerging model system for use in biomedicine. P. maniculatus are similar in appearance to laboratory mice, Mus musculus, but are more closely related to hamsters than to Mus.

Genomic variation in captive deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Deer mice (genus Peromyscus) are the most common rodents in North America. Despite the availability of reference genomes for some species, a comprehensive database of polymorphisms, especially in those maintained as living stocks and ...

Maporal Hantavirus Causes Mild Pathology in Deer Mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) [PDF]
Viruses, 2016 Rodent-borne hantaviruses can cause two human diseases with many pathological similarities: hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the western hemisphere and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the eastern hemisphere.

Increased Breeding Frequency Mitigates Inbreeding Depression in Peromyscus in Captivity [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIncreased parental relatedness occurs in small wild populations and in closed colonies in captivity and reduces offspring fitness. A closed colony of Peromyscus maniculatus is maintained as genetically diverse stock at the Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center

Cellular evolution of the hypothalamic preoptic area of behaviorally divergent deer mice [PDF]
eLifeGenetic variation is known to contribute to the variation of animal social behavior, but the molecular mechanisms that lead to behavioral differences are still not fully understood. Here, we investigate the cellular evolution of the hypothalamic preoptic
