Genetic variables that influence phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Characterization of genetically engineered mice requires consideration of the gene of interest and the genetic background on which the mutation is maintained. A fundamental prerequisite to deciphering the genetic factors that influence the phenotype of a mutant mouse is an understanding of genetic nomenclature. Mutations and transgenes are often maintained on segregating or mixed backgrounds of often-unspecified...
