Abstract excerpt
Koala (Koa) and hairy ears (Eh) mutations of mice are associated with chromosomal inversions in the distal half of chromosome 15. Since these two mutant mice show some common phenotypic features including extra hair on pinna and craniofacial dysmorphogenesis and have similar inverted regions, we determined the inverted regions of these two chromosomal inversions to examine whether a common gene is responsible for...
