Abstract excerpt
The development of tumors in mice is under multigenic control, but, in spite of considerable efforts, the identification of the genes involved has so far been unsuccessful, because of the insufficient resolution power of the available genetic tools. Therefore, a novel genetic tool, the RC (Recombinant Congenic) strains system, was designed. In this system, a series of RC strains is produced from two inbred...
