Of all mammals the rodents have an importance and great diversity. The phylogenetic relationships between the different species of the order Rodentia has an interest and investigations for many researchers. The current study suggests the ability of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to estimate the genetic distance and reflect the genetic relations and variability among eight rodent species of order Rodentia in Egypt. After the use of five arbitrary short primers (OPA-4, OPT-7, OPG-2, OPN-4 and OPM-1) to generate polymorphic, reproducible and score able bands. The results explained that, the highest genetic distance 1 was pronounced between Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus praetextus similarly between Mus musculus domesticus and Rattus norvegicus. This is followed by the genetic distance between Mesocricetus auratus and Mus musculus domesticus as well as between Cavia porcellus and Rattus norvegicus. Nonetheless, the lowest genetic distance 0.31 was noticeable between Mus musculus praetextus and Mus musculus musculus.

“…Comparative studies of the gene and genome sequences of mice in the MUS territory provide evidence for the presence of at least two independent lineages, other than CAS and DOM [ 9 , 30 , 32 , 50 , 59 , 60 ]. A recent study on mouse strains, including MSM/Ms, which originated from Japanese wild mice and therefore represents the MUS-II phylogroup (see ref.…”

“…We can therefore assume that that the Caspian Sea and the Volga River demarcate the two groups. Transcaucasia is presumed to be the putative region where M. m. musculus diverged into subgroups [ 10 , 12 , 30 , 61 ]. It follows from this that Transcaucasia can be considered the key source area of MUS-I ( musculus ) mice.…”

Tracing the eastward dispersal of the house mouse, Mus musculus

et al. 2015

Here we describe recent advances in our understanding of the natural history of the house mouse, Mus musculus, with a focus on the genetic characteristics of the home territories and how this relates to prehistoric eastward movements from the predicted source areas. Recent studies of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences provide insight into the ancient divergence of the three subspecies groups, M. m. castaneus (CAS), M. m. domesticus (DOM), and M. m. musculus (MUS), with inferred natural habits (homelands) in central (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India), western (western Iran), and northern (central Asia) areas, respectively. Our mitochondrial DNA and nuclear gene analyses indicate that only one local lineage of CAS extended its range via historical rapid expansion at two different times to Southeast Asia and East Asia, including Japan and southern Sakhalin. This is suggestive of a rapid range expansion of CAS out of its homeland, perhaps associated with the spread of agricultural practices in Asia. The subspecies group MUS now occurs in a large portion of northern Eurasia from eastern Europe in the West to the Japanese Islands in the East, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, southern Siberia, northern China, and Korea, showing divergent patterns in terms of Mus musculus genetics, particularly in relation to nuclear gene sequences, allozymes (e.g., hemoglobin), morphological characteristics, and cytogenetic C-banding patterns. In this review article, we explain the complex spatial patterns of MUS. We postulate that two historical dispersal events took place, from two different source areas, and tentatively assign the taxon names “musculus” and “wagneri” to the two populations, which are associated with distinct genetic modules.

“…Among these, are the numerous loci that can be assayed at relatively low cost and without previously knowledge of its genome, the sampling of the whole genome, and their high polymorphism (Perez-Sweeney et al, 2003). In mammals, RAPD technique has been used to solve several tasks like hybridization detection (Tsvirka et al, 2006), species diagnosis (Martinez and Danielsdottir, 2000;Basckevich et al, 2004), genetic mapping (Shiue et al, 1999), evaluation of genetic diversity and population differentiation (Petrosyan et al, 2002;Spiridonova et al, 2004), and determination of systematic relationships between taxa (Bellinvia et al, 1999;Mishra et al, 2002).…”

Genetic diversity of two Brazilian populations of the Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus, Linnaeus 1758)

The Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) is one of the most endangered Neotropical cervid with populations that have been drastically reduced to small and isolated ones, mainly because of its habitat destruction. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to analyze population divergence and genetic variation within and between two populations corresponding to distinct subspecies. The RAPD markers displayed substantial genetic variation with all animals possessing unique RAPD phenotypes over 105 polymorphic bands produced by 15 primers. An analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and a neighbor-joining cluster analysis were performed to assess levels of differentiation between populations. No differentiation was recorded and about 96.0% (P < 0.00001) of the total variance was attributable to variation within populations. This result is quite distinct from data obtained by the analysis of the mtDNA control region, and is discussed on the basis of genetic differences between the different markers and the male-biased dispersal patterns generally observed in the mammal species. The data presented herein are potentially useful for future taxonomic and genetic studies in this species, for the monitoring of the genetic variation observed within these populations, and for the development of management guidelines for its conservation.Keywords: Cervidae, Ozotoceros bezoarticus, RAPD, genetic diversity, population structure. Diversidade genética de duas populações brasileiras de Veado-campeiro (Ozotoceros bezoarticus, Linnaeus 1758)Resumo O Veado-campeiro (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) é uma das espécies de cervídeos neotropical mais ameaçadas devido à destruição de seu hábitat e conseqüente redução e isolamento de suas populações. Marcadores do tipo RAPD (Random amplified polymorphic DNA) foram utilizados na análise da divergência populacional e estimativa da variação genética dentro e entre duas populações correspondentes a diferentes subespécies. Os marcadores RAPD mostraram uma variação genética substancial, sendo que as 105 bandas polimórficas obtidas pelo uso de 15 primers produziram fenótipos únicos para todos os indivíduos analisados. Para avaliar o nível de diferenciação entre as populações, foi realizada uma análise da variância molecular (AMOVA) e uma análise de agrupamento utilizando o método de neighbor-joining. Nenhuma diferenciação foi observada, sendo aproximadamente 96,0% da variação encontrada atribuída à variação dentro das populações estudadas. Este resultado difere do obtido através da análise da região controle do mtDNA, e é discutido levando-se em consideração as diferenças genéticas entre os diferentes marcadores utilizados e o padrão de dispersão geralmente observado nas espécies de mamíferos (realizada principalmente pelos machos). Os dados aqui apresentados poderão ser úteis para futuros estudos taxonômicos e genéticos desta espécie, para o monitoramento da variação genética observada em suas populações e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de manejo para sua conservação.Palavras...
