Whole-genome sequencing analysis of wild house mice (Mus musculus) across Eurasia revealed novel insights into the population structures among subspecies. Mus musculus

The house mice (Mus musculus) have been treated as one of the key model animals in biomedical and genetical research for more than 100 years, and many inbred strains of house mice are currently available for experimental usage. Although, genetic diversity of wild house mice at global scale has been poorly understood. Here, we provide high quality genomic resource of wild house mice samples covering wide range of Eurasian continent and islands, especially East and Southeast Asia. Our report of genomic sequences makes possible to determine wide range of variations including SNPs and INDELs, in wild house mouse populations.
