Abstract excerpt
We have compared patterns of geographic variation and molecular divergence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y chromosome over the range of the different subspecies of Mus musculus. MtDNA was typed for 305 nucleotides in the control region, the Y chromosome for 834 base pairs (bp) in Zfy introns and 242 bp in Sry, a Zfy2 18-bp deletion, and two microsatellites. Apparent discrepancies exist between the...
