Abstract excerpt
Previous speed congenic analysis has suggested that the expression of growth and obesity quantitative trait loci (QTL) on distal mouse chromosomes (MMU) 2 and 11, segregating between the CAST/EiJ (CAST) and C57BL/6J-hg/hg (HG) strains, is dependent on sex. To confirm, fine map, and further evaluate QTL x sex interactions, we constructed congenic by recipient F2 crosses for the HG.CAST-(D2Mit329-D2Mit457)N(6)...
