title: [An overview of phylogenetic relationship between Mus and Microtus].
abstract: Muriod is the most successful one among rodents struggling for existence, and biologists have been paying much attention to it, especially Mus musculus. Because of the thorough study on Mus musculus, it has been widely applied in lab, and becomes a good material for studying other animals. Phylogenetic relationship between different species and populations of Mus and Microtus are more clearly revealed with some genetic markers of modern genetics, such as protein, mtDNA, and rDNA. Taxonomy and evolution of species of both genus have also been revealed. Whereas the taxonomy and genetic relationships of some species and populations between both genus need to be further studied.
