Abstract excerpt
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for many alcohol- and drug-related traits have been mapped using well-accepted mapping techniques. The ultimate goal of gene identification necessitates confirmation of the QTL and reduction of the interval surrounding the QTL; both can be accomplished in congenic strains. These strains carry a chromosomal region introgressed from a donor strain onto the genetic background of a...
