Abstract excerpt
Body mass (BM) is a classic polygenic trait that has been extensively investigated to determine the underlying genetic architecture. Many previous studies looking at the genetic basis of variation in BM in murine animal models by quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping have used crosses between two inbred lines. As a consequence it has not been possible to explore imprinting effects which have been shown to play an...
