AB  - The harvest mouse, Micromys minutus (MMIN), has a very wide range of distribution 
      (from the British Isles across the Euroasian continent to Japan and Taiwan). We 
      studied an isolated population of MMIN in Taiwan, which is at the southeastern 
      margin of the species' geographic distribution, and compared its genetic 
      complement with those of the same species previously reported from other 
      geographic locations and with two model rodent species, the house mouse (Mus 
      musculus) and the brown Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus). The diploid number (2N) 
      of MMIN was 68, consistent with that reported for other populations. However, 
      variations were noted in the fundamental number (FN) and the shape and banding 
      patterns of the individual chromosomes among populations. The FN of MMIN was 
      estimated to be 72, including 2 bi-armed autosomes, 31 one-armed autosomes, and 
      one pair of one-armed sex chromosomes. Here, we propose the first ideogram for 
      MMIN. C-banding, Ag-NOR, and the locations of 18S rRNA gene sequences (MMIN 
      chromosomes no. 10, 14, 19, 29, 31, 33, and X) mapped by fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization (FISH) are also reported. Additionally, we compared the 18S rDNA 
      sequences and performed cross-species X chromosome painting (FISH) for M. 
      minutus, M. musculus, and R. norvegicus. The results indicate that both genetic 
      elements are rather conserved across species. Thus, implications for the 
      phylogenetic position of Micromys were limited.
