Recent genetic drift in the co-diversified gut bacterial symbionts of laboratory mice

Abstract Laboratory mice (Mus musculus domesticus) harbor gut bacterial strains that are distinct from those of wild mice but whose evolutionary histories are unclear. Here, we show that laboratory mice have retained gut bacterial lineages that diversified in parallel (co-diversified) with rodent sp...
