Posted by Erik Svensson on behalf of Rosa Sanchez
Next week's lab-meeting will consist of a talk of Spanish postdoc Rosa Sanchez, who is more known for her work on damselflies, but who has also worked on mice during her last postdoc. Time and place as usual:
Time: Tuesday, April 28, 10.30
Place: "Argumentet", 2nd floor, Ecology Building
Any fika-volunteer?
Below is information from Rosa about the content of her talk:
The Spanish Robertsonian fusion system on the House mouse Mus musculus domesticus
This lab meeting I am going to talk about my work on the house mouse
Mus musculus domesticus about the mechanism(s) responsible for the formation and maintenance of
Robertsonian (Rb) s in natural populations.
The house mouse Mus musculus domesticus
is arguably the best-studied and understood model of variation of
Rb fusions in nature. I have studied Spanish Rb system, which occurs in a 5,000 km2
area of Barcelona province and is characterized by a high level of
chromosomal polymorphisms [i.e., seven different Rb chromosomes
including Rb (3.8), (4.14), (5.15), (6.10), (7.17), (9.11) and (12.13)
showing non-geographically coincident clines,
and low recombination rates.
