The nomenclature rules from the International Committee for Standardized Nomenclature
for Mice state the following: "Most laboratory mice have contributions from both
Mus musculus musculus and Mus musculus domesticus. There is evidence that smaller
contributions may also have come from Mus musculus molossinus and Mus musculus castaneus.
Therefore, they should not be referred to by species name, but rather as "laboratory mice"
or by use of a specific strain or stock name. In addition, some recently developed laboratory
mouse strains are derived wholly from other Mus species or subspecies, such as Mus spretus."
