TLDR
Thirteen biochemical groups of wild mice from Europe, Asia, and Africa belonging to the genus Mus are analyzed at 22–42 protein loci and Phylogenetic trees are proposed and patterns of biochemical evolution are discussed.Abstract:
Thirteen biochemical groups of wild mice from Europe, Asia, and Africa belonging to the genus Mus are analyzed at 22–42 protein loci. Phylogenetic trees are proposed and patterns of biochemical evolution are discussed, as well as the possible contribution of wild mice to the genetic diversity of laboratory stocks.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of mtDNA and nuclear DNA variability is presented, with emphasis on mtDNA's uniparental and apparently haploid mode of inheritance, which makes mtDNA a superb tool for building trees and time scales relating molecular lineages at and below the species level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parental imprinting of the mouse H19 gene.
TL;DR: An RNase protection assay is used that can distinguish between H19 alleles in four subspecies of Mus, to demonstrate that the H19 gene is parentally imprinted, with the active copy derived from the mother.

The coupling hypothesis: why genome scans may fail to map local adaptation genes.

TL;DR: It is argued that endogenous genetic barriers are often more likely than local adaptation to explain the majority of Fst‐outlying loci observed in genome scan approaches – even when these are correlated to environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of house mice
TL;DR: The house mouse is the most recent phylogenetic offshoot of the genus Mus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild mice: an ever-increasing contribution to a popular mammalian model.
TL;DR: This article provides examples with the aim of promoting the use of new strains belonging to different species of Mus established from wild progenitors, helpful for making genome annotations because they permit highly refined genotype-phenotype correlations.

Genetic distance between populations
TL;DR: If enough data are available, genetic distance between any pair of organisms can be measured in terms of D, and this measure is applicable to any kind of organism without regard to ploidy or mating scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Phylogenetic Trees from Distance Matrices
TL;DR: The distance Wagner procedure is applicable to data matrices of immunological distance, such as that of Sarich (1969a), in which between-OTU comparisons are evaluated but for which no attributes of the OTUs themselves are directly observable.

Flow of mitochondrial DNA across a species boundary
Stephen D. Ferris,Richard D. Sage,Chun-Ming Huang,Jorn Tonnes Nielsen,Uzi Ritte,Allan C. Wilson +5 more
TL;DR: Restriction analysis shows that wild Scandinavian mice belonging to the species Mus musculus contain the mitochondrial DNA of a neighboring species, M. domesticus, andylogenetic analysis of the restriction maps suggests that the mitochondrial DNAs found in Scandinavian M. musculus could stem from a single M. Domesticus female.

Protein polymorphism and genic heterozygosity in two european subspecies of the house mouse.
TL;DR: Electrophoretic protein variation is surveyed in six samples representing two subspecies of the house mouse, M. m.
