Abstract
The intrapopulation variability of a cytochrome b gene fragment and the corresponding amino acid sequence was studied in the red vole Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas, 1779 from the flood-plain of the Kolyma River. Wide polymorphic variability of these properties was observed. Differences in the cytochrome b gene sequence were determined between the red voles of the studied population and the species collected in neighborhoods of Novosibirsk and Omsk. The revealed results point to the urgency of the cytochrome b gene nucleotide sequence and the variants of the respective amino acid sequence as genetic markers of originality of different red vole populations.
