Abstract excerpt
Recombinant congenic strains (RCS) represent a series of related strains, each of which carries a small fraction of the genome of one strain ("donor" strain) on the genetic background of another strain ("background" strain). Recombinant inbred strains (RIS) are commonly used to identify major gene segregation and linkage and associations between behavior and quantitative trait loci, whereas recombinant congenic...
