Abstract excerpt
Although recombinant inbred (RI) series of mice have been developed to identify and map single-gene characteristics, they can also be used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that account for small amounts of variance in quantitative traits such as behavior. We applied an RI QTL approach to the analysis of published behavioral data from seven studies that used the CXB RI series of mice. Nearly all of the...
