Quantitative variation of LINE-1 sequences in five species and three subspecies of the subgenus Mus and in five Robertsonian races of Mus musculus domesticus
2009
Abstract
The quantitative variation of a conserved region of the LINE-1 ORF2 sequence was determined in eight species and subspecies of the subgenus Mus and five Robertsonian races of M. m. domesticus. No differences were found between all acrocentric or Robertsonian chromosome races, whereas the quantitative variation detected among the Mus taxa matches with the clades into which the subgenus is divided.
