“…At the same time, Hbb s is observed sporadically in MUS populations of northern Eurasia, from eastern Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. Mice from the Asian territory of MUS possess the haplotypes Hbb d , Hbb p , and Hbb w1 [ 31 , 42 , 48 , 49 ]. Hbb d mainly occurs in populations of “north areas of MUS” from eastern Europe and Siberia.…”

Tracing the eastward dispersal of the house mouse, Mus musculus

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.

“…Hybridization among genetically and biochemically defined subspecies groups within the house mouse ( Mus musculus ) in the wild has often been proposed (Hunt and Selander, 1973;Ferris et al, 1983a;Sage et al, 1986;Yonekawa et al, 1986Yonekawa et al, , 1988Vanlenberghe et al, 1988;Bonhomme et al, 1989;Boursot et al, 1989;Frisman et al, 1990;Moriwaki, 1994;Mezhzherin et al, 1998). The differentiation among the major lineages, i.e., domesticus , musculus , and castaneus subspecies groups, have been inferred to occur around 1-2 million years ago (Moriwaki et al, 1979;Yonekawa et al, 1980Yonekawa et al, , 1981Ferris et al, 1983a;Suzuki et al, 2004), and it is possible that their genes are partly exchanged by hybridization where the populations overlap (Hunt and Selander, 1973;Ferris et al, 1983b;Yonekawa et al, 1986Yonekawa et al, , 1988Bonhomme et al, 1989;Boursot et al, 1989).…”

Further evidence for recombination between mouse hemoglobin beta b1 and b2 genes based on the nucleotide sequences of intron, UTR, and intergenic spacer regions

et al. 2006

Nucleotide sequences of the intron regions and UTRs (Untranslated regions) of the hemoglobin beta adult genes, b1 and b2, and of the intergenic spacer region were determined for mouse strains representing the d , p , and w1 hemoglobin haplotypes defined by protein electrophoretic analyses. The hypothesis of recombination of the b1 and b2 genes between the d and w1 haplotypes previously reported in the cDNA nucleotide sequences was confirmed by neighbor-joining analyses of the intron regions and UTRs within the b1 and b2 genes, suggesting that all of the structures of hemoglobin beta adult genes support the hypothesis that the p haplotype was established by hybridization between d and w1 haplotype mice. The resultant recombinant of the p haplotype was found to have a d -like b1 gene and a w1 -like b2 gene. In addition to the possible recombination, a break point was suggested around 2-3 kb downstream of the b1 gene within the intergenic spacer region, despite the absence of clear properties that could stimulate the recombination machinery. Some large insertions or deletions (indels) specific to the p or d haplotypes were located within the intergenic spacer region, in which the 1010-bp indel specific to the p haplotype was shared by all examined strains representing the p haplotype.

“…In particular, it has helped to identify and discriminate their taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships (Bonhomme et al, 1984;Britton-Davidian and Thaler, 1978;Din et al, 1996;Fraguedakis-Tsolis, 1992;Frisman et al, 1990;Orsini et al, 1983;Sage et al, 1993;She et al, 1990), and revealed hybrid zones between these taxa (Boursot et al, 1993;Mezhzherin et al, 1998). Moreover, it has allowed an understanding of the pattern of colonization and the resulting population dynamics and gene flow (Berry et al, 1991(Berry et al, , 1992Britton-Davidian, 1990;Navajas y Navarro and Britton-Davidian, 1989), and thrown some light on the Rb phenomenon regarding the origin, the colonization patterns, the relationships, and the possible speciation processes among Mus musculus domesticus Rb races (Berry et al, 1991;Britton-Davidian et al, 1980Fraguedakis-Tsolis et al, 1997;Hauffe et al, 2002;Nash et al, 1983;Said et al, 1986;Said and Britton-Davidian, 1991).…”

Allozymic Polymorphism Among 14 Populations of the House Mouse, Mus musculus domesticus, From Greece

2005

Nineteen loci from 239 individuals of the house mouse Mus musculus domesticus (Rodentia, Muridae) were analyzed by means of thin layer electrophoresis. The mice were collected from 14 localities of Greece mainly confined to the area of NW Peloponnese, where a Robertsonian (Rb) system is observed. The individuals were chromosomally characterized by nine diploid numbers, the 2n = 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 40. The statistic elaboration revealed that all 14 populations studied were not characterized by cohesive demic structure and high inbreed levels while the gene flow among them has resulted in low levels of genetic differentiation. The resulting values for Nei's genetic distance corresponded to distances known for the level of geographical populations of M. musculus. Wagner's cladogram for the phylogenetic relations between the populations studied implied that it is the diploid number, rather than the geographical factor, that characterizes or dominates each population, which mainly influences the phylogenetic relationships.
