Abstract

Female inbred mouse phylogenetic of newly generated complete mitochondrial DNA sequence data in 16 strains were analyzed to show that all common strains descend from the same Mus musculus domesticus female wild ancestor. The findings confirm the hypothesis that M. m. molossinus is a hybrid and its mtDNA shares a common ancestor with M. m. musculus.
