| Research Abstract |
Two lineages of Mus from Myanmar were shown to be valid species from our molecular phylogenetic study. The ancestral lineage of the subgenus Mus was shown to have an accelerated rate of dN/dS in the coat color related gene Mc1r, implying the presence of adaptive evolution associated with coat color. The black rat Rattus rattus with agouti and melanistic forms in dorsal coat color possessed a responsible SNP, G280A, in Mc1r. Our newly developed system, haplotype structure analysis, is proven to be effective to reveal introgressive hybridization events at both historical and contemporary ages.
