Laboratory of Mammalian Evolutionary Genetics


Head of department:
Macholán Miloš , prof., RNDr., CSc.
Activity:
Research activities of the lab has focused on two areas. The first area consists of the study of genetic variation, phylogeography and evolution of free-living mouse species of the genus Mus (M. macedonicus, M. spicilegus) and their relationship to recently identified distinct subspecies and/or species (M. m. spretoides, M. s. adriaticus, M. cypriacus). The second research area consists of various aspects of hybridization in house mice (M. musculus complex) including introgression patterns for several autosomal and sex-linked molecular markers as well as morphometric characters across the musculus/domesticus hybrid zone, estimation of key evolutionary parameters (dispersal, selection, barrier to gene flow, fitness of hybrids), genomic and proteomic analysis of major urine proteins (MUPs) and digging for new suitable molecular markers of the SINE family.
Most of the staff of the lab are involved in education of young scientists. Two researchers are additionally employed at universities.
