Abstract excerpt
Hotfoot (ho) mutation is a recessive trait in mice, characterized by motor disorder and male sterility, that maps to chromosome 6. We have identified a transgenic mouse pedigree with a similar trait. Using genetic and molecular approaches, we have demonstrated that the foreign DNA element is located in or near the ho locus. This new allele, designated hoJwg and presumably created by insertional mutagenesis,...
