Abstract excerpt
The effect of the recessive siren (srn) gene singly in the presence of one Danforth's short tail (Sd) gene was to modify the expression of srn towards dominance with 46 percent penetrance. All mice that could be classified as sirens from srn/+ x Sd/+ matings had the Sd type short tail, indicating that interaction between Sd and srn was the principal cause for modification towards dominance of srn.
