Shaw's jird (Meriones shawi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia. Its natural habitats are arable land, pastureland, and rural gardens.

Shaw's jird is able to survive long periods of dehydration in semi-desert regions where it lives, in part because of its well developed kidneys.[1] Shaw's jird can mate 224 times in two hours.[2] During the rainy season, Shaw's jirds breed more compared to summer when there is less rain.[3] They typically live 1–2 years.[4] In the Algerian highlands, they are a main prey source for Barn owls.[5]

Gene regulatory network

Collection of molecular regulators Structure of a gene regulatory network Control process of a gene regulatory network A gene (or genetic) regulatory network (GRN) is a collection of molecular regulators that interact with each other and with other substances in the cell to govern the gene expression levels of mRNA and proteins which, in turn, determine the function of the cell. GRN also play a central role in morphogenesis, the creation of body structures, which in turn is central to evoluti...
