Abstract

Within the mouse genus Peromyscus there exists many pericentric inversions containing linkage groups, genes which do not recombine. It has been hypothesized that genes inherited together provide the selective pressure which has caused speciation within the genus. The purpose of this project was to aid ongoing research in the lab of Dr. Duke Rogers in finding genetic markers in the mouse genus Peromyscus. From these markers a linkage map will eventually be developed, It is this linkage map which can help answer several evolutionary questions concerning this genus.
