“…The bold diploid chromosome numbers are the dominant ones at each population.

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

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.

“…musculus while all other mice probably belong to the subspecies M.m. domesticus (Schwarz & Schwarz, 1943;Ursin, 1952;Selander, Hunt & Yang, 1969;Hunt & Selander, 1973). If antigenic and phylogenetic similarities are correlated, as they are in man (Cavalli-Sforza, 1973;Piazza & Viganotti, 1973), then populations of M.m.…”

The population genetics of theH-2polymorphism in European and North African populations of the house mouse (Mus musculusL.)

et al. 1981

Two hundred and two house mice (Mus musculus L.) from 29 populations in Europe and North Africa were typed for 16 H-2K and 17 H-2D antigens, each antigen defining a different allele. Among the 13 best characterized populations, 1 to 4 common and 3 to 20 rare antigens were observed. However, an average of 37 % of the H-2K and 39 % of the H-2D antigens remain to be identified. Ninety-four percent of the 50 mice tested were heterozygous for H-2K antigens and 89% for H-2D antigens. In 4 of the 8 populations tested, the most common H-2K and H-2D antigens occurred in the same individual more often than if randomly associated. Associations between common H-2K and H-2D antigens and excess heterozygosities may be the consequence of the small size and instability of populations composed primarily of related individuals. Estimates of the genetic distances between populations revealed that Danish, Egyptian, and several of the Orkney Island populations were related. These were the only populations in which metacentric chromosomes were not found. In contrast, populations which were antigenically different were also karyotypically different, regardless of taxonomic status of allozymic similarity.

“…Johnson (1974) reported, on the basis of a general survey of electrophoretic analyses of 83 mammalian species, that for a number of genera, several species within a genus had identical isozymes for this enzyme, including five species in the genus Microtus. Both Johnson and McDermid et al (1975), who surveyed electrophoretic variants in blood, cite examples of SOD polymorphisms in dogs, however, and Selander et al (1969) found a polymorphic SOD locus in house mice that was not dimeric. McDermid et al report that a dimeric form that migrates further to the anode and a tetrameric form remaining close to the origin have been described.…”
