Anyone out there know of a good public benchmark/dataset for rodent vocalizations?

Something intended for benchmarking ML models (detection, classification, etc) would be ideal, eg like AnuraSet but mice/rats/etc 🐀🐀🐀

A nice, layperson writeup of my latest work, which is now out on eLife!

TLDR: Using snRNA-seq, we find cell type abundance differences and sex-biased gene expression differences that may explain innate differences in mating + parenting behavior

Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing sheds new light on how two closely related species of deer behave differently when mating and caring for young.

Excited to share that my preprint about cellular differences in the hypothalamic preoptic region across behaviorally divergent deer mice is now reviewed on eLife! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Hello, world! Always exciting to join a new platform early enough to actually get my name as my handle 💃
