Figure Lengend Snippet: Phylogenetic information content of the GigaMUGA array. (A) Diagnostic alleles (blue, M. m. domesticus ; red, M. m. musculus ; green, M. m. castaneus ) are shown as hash marks in a region of chromosome 16 where CAST/EiJ (top) has mixed ancestry. Pure representatives of each subspecies are shown for comparison. Smoothed ancestry blocks inferred using genotypes from the Mouse Diversity Array ( Yang et al. 2011 ) are underlaid. (B) First two PCs from principal components analysis (PCA) of 20 wild M. musculus specimens at a randomly chosen subset of 3000 diagnostic markers (1000 per subspecies) on the autosomes. Individuals are colored according to their subspecies of origin, using the color scheme of panel A. (C) Phylogenetic tree constructed from 83 markers in the male-specific region of the Y chromosome in 67 male samples. Samples are colored according to their nominal subspecies or species of origin: blue, red and green as in panel A; maroon, M. m. molossinus (a M. m. musculus and M. m. castaneus hybrid); and gray, Mus spretus . See Materials and Methods for details of tree construction. Filled dots, wild-caught samples; open dots, inbred strains. (D) Phylogenetic tree for the same 67 male samples as in (C) but constructed from 32 mitochondrial markers.
