Recent genetic drift in the co-diversified gut bacterial symbionts of laboratory mice - Nature Communications
Here the authors show that lab mice have retained ancient gut bacterial symbionts that diversified in parallel with rodent species, but the genomes of these gut bugs have accumulated mutational burden...
