The researchers were interested in whether they could find similarities in the two genomes that could shed light on how these similarities evolved. To do this, they sequenced the red panda genome, which is starting to sound easy these days but is still a labor-intensive task. Because sequencing...
Arctic and red foxes evolved different morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations [2, 4]. Pairwise positive selection analyses identified positive selection signatures in 57 of the protein-coding genes of which 36 genes could be successfully annotated and branch site analyses identified four...

It was hypothesized that the Ailurus f. fulgens subspecies would bemore active overall than the Ailurus f. refulgens subspecies due to their younger age and ability toescape inside from the crowds and summer heat.Austine Decker
Red panda, reddish brown, long-tailed, raccoonlike mammal that is found in the mountain forests of the Himalayas and adjacent areas of eastern Asia. Although a single species is recognized, evidence suggests that there may be two species. They subsist ma
