The inbred mouse in pigmentation research: significance of a congenic developmental system.

Abstract excerpt

Pigment mutations in inbred mice have been important to many new scientific developments over the past century. Inbred mice are essentially genetically alike because of 10-20 generations or more of sibling mating or the equivalent. Mice of the same inbred strain that differ at only one locus can be used to evaluate the phenotypic effects of that one locus without complication of variation at other loci....
