Whole-genome sequencing analysis reveals the population history of Mus musculus in Madagascar. Mus musculus

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is an animal that is commensal with humans and has expanded around the world with the migration of humans. In Madagascar, the house mouse is also thought to have colonized along with humans and is now one of the most successfully colonized rodents on the island. Here, we provide high quality genomic resource of the five Madagascar wild house mouse samples. Our genomic resource reveals the genomic background and migration history of wild house mice on the island of Madagascar, and allows us to estimate human migration to Madagascar.
