Mouse phenome research: implications of genetic background.

Abstract excerpt

Now that sequencing of the mouse genome has been completed, the function of each gene remains to be elucidated through phenotypic analysis. The "genetic background" (in which each gene functions) is defined as the genotype of all other related genes that may interact with the gene of interest, and therefore potentially influences the specific phenotype. To understand the nature and importance of genetic...
