Discordant phylogeographic patterns between the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA in the house mouse: selection on the Y chromosome?
Genetics - 1 Jul 1997
Boissinot S, Boursot P
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 a...
