Because particular inbred strains of experimental animals are informative for only a subset of the genes underlying variability in BMD, we undertook a genome screen to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in 828 F(2) progeny (405 males and 423 females) derived from the Copenhagen 2331 (COP) and dark agouti (DA) strains of rats. This screen was performed to complement our study in female Fischer 344 (F344) and...
