Abstract

Restriction analysis shows that wild Scandinavian mice belonging to the species Mus musculus contain the mitochondrial DNA of a neighboring species, M. domesticus. This demonstration results from comparisons of Scandinavian mice with authentic M. domesticus and M. musculus from other parts of Europe. Electrophoretic and immunological analysis of eight diagnostic proteins confirms that mice from north of the hybrid zone in Denmark are M. musculus in regard to their nuclear genes. In contrast, the mice tested from this region and a nearby part of Sweden have exclusively M. domesticus types of mitochondrial DNA. Phylogenetic analysis of the restriction maps suggests that the mitochondrial DNAs found in Scandinavian M. musculus could stem from a single M. domesticus female.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
