Abstract excerpt
Compared with C57BL/6J-A(y)/a, KK-A(y)/a mice have yellow fur that is markedly darker. Furthermore, there is a considerable variation in the tone of color with a continuous range in F(2) progeny produced from C57BL/6J females and KK-A(y)/a males. The aims of this study are to reveal the phenotypic differences between the two A(y) congenic strains and to elucidate the genetic factors responsible for the sooty...
