Brown rat demography reveals pre-commensal structure in eastern Asia prior to expansion into Southeast Asia

2018-01-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fossil evidence indicates that the globally-distributed brown rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) originated in northern China and Mongolia. Historical records report the human-mediated invasion of rats into Europe in the 1500s, followed by global spread due to European imperialist activity during the1600s-1800s. We analyzed 14 genomes representing seven previously identified evolutionary clusters and te...
