Variation under domestication in animal models: the case of the Mexican axolotl.
María Torres-SánchezPublished in: BMC genomics (2020)
Awareness of the genetic variation could guide a better experimental design while helping to develop molecular tools for monitoring genetic diversity and studying gene functions in laboratory axolotls. Overall, this study highlights the cross-taxa utility that transcriptomic data might have to assess the genetic variation of the experimental specimens, which might help to shorten the journey towards reproducible research.
