Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal races of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) bear Robertsonian (Rb) fusions, which consist of centric translocations between two non-homologous acrocentric chromosomes. The high level of diversity of these fusions in house mice is generated by de-novo formation of Rb fusions and subsequent whole-arm reciprocal exchanges (WARTs). This paper describes the spontaneous occurrence of a new Rb fusion,...
