Abstract excerpt
We attempted to detect natural mutations existing in the Jcl:ICR closed colony of mice which is maintained by random mating. We used ordinary genetic backcrosses to efficiently detect recessive mutations carried by individual mice in the colony. Crosses of DBA/2 females and ICR males were performed to obtain F(1) mice. Four F(1) females randomly selected from each cross were backcrossed to the male parent. More...
