Pair bonding and disruption impact lung transcriptome in monogamous Peromyscus californicus
To investigate  the effects of bonding experiences on the transcriptome of monogamous P. californicus in the lungs. Our results indicated that the lung transcriptomes of Peromyscus californicus are altered in a manner that depends on pair bonding. Pathways affected include hypoxia response and heart development. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-Seq data. RNA was isolated from bonded, bond-disrupted, and virgin lung tissues.
