Peromyscus Gene List

Genetic Loci Formally Described in the Peromyscus maniculatus Species Group

Variant List (Alphabetized by gene symbol)

Catagory I: Pelage, skin and eye pigmentation and pattern loci
Catagory II: Morphological, developmental and generalized metabolic loci
Catagory III: Neurosensory, neuromuscular and behavioral loci
Catagory IV: Protein electrophoretic and immunological loci
Catagory V: DNA genetic markers (microsatellites, RAPDs, etc.)
The following lists only formally described loci with symbols. Others can be found within the categories listed above. Traits signified by a dagger ( † ) are extinct, at least in captivity.
