Abstract excerpt
Many valuable animal models of human disease are known and new models are continually being generated in existing inbred strains,. Some disease models are simple mendelian traits, but most have a polygenic basis. The current approach to identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that underlie such traits is to localize them in crosses, construct congenic strains carrying individual QTLs, and finally map and clone...
