Mouse biodiversity in the genomic era

Cytogenetic and Genome Research
N GaltierP Boursot

Abstract

Comparative genomics has developed by comparison of distantly related genomes, for which the link between the reported evolutionary changes and species development/physiology/ecology is not obvious. It is argued that the mouse (genus Mus) is an optimal model for microevolutionary genomics in vertebrates. This is because the mouse genome sequence, physical and genetic map have been completed, because mouse genetics, morpho-anatomy, pathology, behavior and ecology are well-studied, and because the Mus genus is a diverse, well- documented taxon, allowing comparative studies at the level of individual, population, subspecies, and species. The potential of the interaction between mouse genome and mouse biodiversity is illustrated by recent studies of speciation in the house mouse Mus musculus, and studies about the evolution of isochores, the peculiar pattern of GC-content variation across mammalian genomes.

Biodiversity Data

Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is typically a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level.Discover the latest research on biodiversity data here.
