Abstract excerpt
Inbred mouse strains are used as model organisms for biomedical research in laboratories throughout the world. The most widely used of these strains had their genome sequenced recently, and phylogenetic studies have been performed, namely, based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This has allowed determining that few polymorphisms distinguish the mtDNAs of the common inbred strains, but a high number of differences...
