Editing Pygmy mouse lemur (section)

== Genetics ==
For many years, pygmy mouse lemurs were not considered to be a different species when compared to other mouse lemurs. However, recently there have been studies that show that there are large genetic differences of the DNA. This made it evident that the pymgy mouse lemur could be classified into its own species, rather than being grouped with another species of mouse lemur. Even with these morphological differences found among the species of mouse lemurs, there is still more need for studies to be doen on the chromosome variation of all the mouse lemur species.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Rumpler |first1=Yves |last2=Ganzhorn |first2=Jorg U. |last3=Tomiuk |first3=Jurgen |last4=Leipoldt |first4=Michael |last5=Warter |first5=Stephanie |date=1998 |title=A cytogenetic study of Microcebus myoxinus |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/219359231 |journal=Folia Primatologica |volume=69 |issue=5 |pages=307–311 |doi=10.1159/000021644 |pmid=9751837 |id={{ProQuest|219359231}} |via=ProQuest|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
