Copy number variants and selective sweeps in natural populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus)
Copy-number variants (CNVs) may play an important role in early adaptations, potentially facilitating rapid divergence of populations. We describe an approach to study this question by investigating CNVs present in natural populations of mice in the early stages of divergence and their involvement in selective sweeps. We have analyzed individuals from two recently diverged natural populations o...
متن کاملEarly gene expression divergence between allopatric populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus)
Divergence of gene expression is known to contribute to the differentiation and separation of populations and species, although the dynamics of this process in early stages of population divergence remains unclear. We analyzed gene expression differences in three organs (brain, liver, and testis) between two natural populations of Mus musculus domesticus that have been separated for at most 300...
متن کاملMus musculus : Genetic Portrait of the House Mouse Reference
role in the study of genetics ever since Carl Correns, Hugo De Vries, and Erich Von Tschermak independently rediscovered Mendel’s laws at the beginning of the twentieth century. Because these three scientists, as well as Mendel himself, performed their research entirely on plants, many in the scientific community questioned whether Mendel’s laws could explain the basis for inheritance in animal...
متن کاملPaternal imprinting of mating preferences between natural populations of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus).
The evolutionary divergence of cues for mate recognition can contribute to early stages of population separation. We compare here two allopatric populations of house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) that have become separated about 3000 years ago. We have used paternity assignments in semi-natural environments to study the degree of mutual mate recognition according to population origin under con...
متن کاملA Role for Ultrasonic Vocalisation in Social Communication and Divergence of Natural Populations of the House Mouse (Mus musculus domesticus)
It has long been known that rodents emit signals in the ultrasonic range, but their role in social communication and mating is still under active exploration. While inbred strains of house mice have emerged as a favourite model to study ultrasonic vocalisation (USV) patterns, studies in wild animals and natural situations are still rare. We focus here on two wild derived mouse populations. We r...
