The expression of transmission ratio distortion (TRD) and the frequency of carriers of t haplotypes in natural populations of house mice Mus musculus

The expression of transmission ratio distortion (TRD) and the frequency of carriers of t... The character of TRD (transmission ratio distortion) was analyzed using the database formed on the basis of the results obtained for a collection of mice carrying different t haplotypes during 30 years of experimental observations. Quantitative TRD parameters were determined in male mice with T/t w genotypes from natural populations in crosses with females from laboratory collections. The TRD value varied in the range from 0.41 to 0.74. The frequencies of t haplotypes in natural Mus musculus populations from different regions (Moscow, Moscow oblast, Tajikistan, Lithuania, and Mongolia) varied from 12% (Tigrovaya Balka, Tajikistan) to 44% (Ulan-Bator, Mongolia). The factors and mechanisms determining a low frequency of t haplotypes in natural populations are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Russian Journal of Genetics Springer Journals

Abstract

The character of TRD (transmission ratio distortion) was analyzed using the database formed on the basis of the results obtained for a collection of mice carrying different t haplotypes during 30 years of experimental observations. Quantitative TRD parameters were determined in male mice with T/t w genotypes from natural populations in crosses with females from laboratory collections. The TRD value varied in the range from 0.41 to 0.74. The frequencies of t haplotypes in natural Mus musculus populations from different regions (Moscow, Moscow oblast, Tajikistan, Lithuania, and Mongolia) varied from 12% (Tigrovaya Balka, Tajikistan) to 44% (Ulan-Bator, Mongolia). The factors and mechanisms determining a low frequency of t haplotypes in natural populations are discussed.
