Abstract excerpt
In mice, behavioral acceptance of the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) depends on allelic variation of a single gene, Soa. The SW.B6-Soa(b)congenic mouse strain has the genetic background of an "SOA taster" SWR/J strain and an Soa-containing donor chromosome fragment from an "SOA nontaster" C57BL/6J strain. Using microsatellite markers polymorphic between the two parental strains, we determined that the...
