About MSM/Ms strain

An inbred strain MSM/Ms was established from Japanese wild mice, M. m. molossinus, collected in 1978 in Mishima, Shizuoka-ken, Japan (Moriwaki et al. 1994, 2009). The divergence time between M. m. molossinus and west European subspecies, M. m. domesticus, from which genomes of the most classical laboratory strains are derived, is estimated to be roughly one million years (Yonekawa et al. 1980; Moriwaki 1994, 2009). Over a long evolutionary time period, a large amount of genetic variation has accumulated on each of these genomes (Abe et al. 2004).
