Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Linkage studies alone do not produce sufficient resolution to narrow the location of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) to a small-enough chromosomal region for gene identification. One solution to this problem is to use interval-specific congenic recombinant (ISCR) lines to narrow the chromosomal interval known to contain the QTL. In previous work, we mapped four QTLs for differential ethanol...
