Island populations provide natural laboratories for studying key contributors to evolutionary change, including natural selection, population size, and the colonization of new environments. The demographic histories of island populations can be reconstructed from patterns of genetic diversity. House mice (Mus musculus) inhabit islands throughout the globe, making them an attractive system for studying island colonization from a genetic perspective. Gough Island, in the central South Atlantic Ocean, is one of the remotest islands in the world. House mice were introduced to Gough Island by sealers during the 19th century, and display unusual phenotypes, including exceptionally large body size and carnivorous feeding behavior. We describe genetic variation in Gough Island mice using mitochondrial sequences, nuclear sequences, and microsatellites. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial sequences suggested that Gough Island mice belong to Mus musculus domesticus, with the maternal lineage possibly originating in ... : MMGray_GoughIslandMouseDemographicHistory_Microsatellite_GenAlEx_FormatRaw microsatellite genotypes in GenAlEx format.MainModelABC toolbox model files (ms was the coalescent simulatior, MarkSim was used to generate mutations, arlsumstat was the summary statistic calculator) See ABC toolbox manual for more details.ModelVariation1ABC toolbox model files (ms was the coalescent simulatior, MarkSim was used to generate mutations, arlsumstat was the summary statistic calculator) See ABC toolbox manual for more details.ModelVariation2ABC toolbox model files (ms was the coalescent simulatior, MarkSim was used to generate mutations, arlsumstat was the summary statistic calculator) See ABC toolbox manual for more details.SeqSampleInformationSample information, accessions, and raw sequences ...
