Abstract excerpt
We combined the use of a congenic line and recombinant progeny testing (RPT) to characterize and fine map a previously identified region of distal mouse chromosome 2 (MMU2) harboring quantitative trait loci (QTL) with large effects on growth and fatness. The congenic line [M16i.B6-(D2Mit306-D2Mit52); MB2] was created using an inbred line (M16i) derived from a line that had undergone long-term selection for rapid...
