De novo transcriptome assembly for the spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus)
Abstract Spiny mice of the genus Acomys display several unique physiological traits, including menstruation and scar-free wound healing; characteristics that are exceedingly rare in mammals, and of considerable interest to the scientific community. These unique attributes, and the potential for spin...
