Abstract excerpt
A genome scan of the F2 generation from an inbred alcohol-preferring (iP) and inbred alcohol-nonpreferring (iNP) rat cross identified a significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 4 with a lod score of 9.2. To confirm this QTL and to create animals for fine mapping of the QTL region, chromosome 4 reciprocal congenic strains were developed by transferring the chromosome 4 QTL interval into the...
