Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among some (e.g., DBA/2J or D2) but not all (C57BL/6J or B6) inbred strains of mice, ethanol has a marked psychostimulant effect. Intercrosses formed from the D2 and B6 strains have been used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for this phenotype. The major QTL is found at the mid-region of chromosome 2 (Demarest et al., 1999). This QTL has also been detected in heterogeneous stock mice (Demarest...
