| frequency and distribution of t-haplotypes in the southeast asian house mouse (mus musculus castaneus) in taiwan. | t-haplotypes are a meiotic drive system found on the 17th chromosome of the house mouse (mus musculus). they can be found in wild populations of all four genetically differentiated subspecies. the drive phenomenon is male-specific, such that heterozygous males (+/t) show non-mendelian transmission and transmit the t-chromosome to > 90% of their offspring. so far the most comprehensive studies on the frequencies of t-haplotypes in natural populations have been on just one of the subspecies (m. mu ... | 2001 | 11555276 |
| population differentiation and gene flow revealed by microsatellite dna markers in the house mouse (mus musculus castaneus) in taiwan. | we analyzed population subdivision and gene flow of the southeast asian house mouse (mus musculus castaneus) in taiwan by using six microsatellite dna markers. seven populations of the house mouse (187 individuals), including one from fukien province in southeastern china, which is separated from taiwan by the taiwan strait, were analyzed in this study. the overall polymorphic level at the six loci was high (he = 0.76) although individual populations varied in their levels of heterozygosity (he ... | 2002 | 12130825 |
| genetic variation of microsatellite loci in the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) region in the southeast asian house mouse (mus musculus castaneus). | major histocompatibility complex (mhc) genes are the most polymorphic loci known for vertebrates. here we employed five microsatellite loci closely linked to the mhc region in an attempt to study the amount of genetic variation in 19 populations of the southeast asian house mouse (mus musculus castaneus) in taiwan. the overall polymorphism at the five loci was high (he = 0.713), and the level of polymorphism varied from locus to locus. furthermore, in order to investigate if selection is operati ... | 2003 | 14620960 |
