Abstract excerpt
The present study mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control 6-fold genetic differences in hormone-induced ovulation rate (HIOR) between C57BL/6J (B6) (HIOR = 54) and A/J strain mice (HIOR = 9). (The gene name is Ovulation Rate Induced [ORI] QTL and the gene symbol is Oriq.) QTL linkage analysis was conducted on 167 (B6xA)xA backcross mice at 165 loci. Suggestive B6 ORI QTL that control the number of eggs...
