Abstract excerpt

Recombinant inbred (RI) strains are valuable not only for detecting major gene segregation and linkage but also for identifying associations between behavior and quantitative trait loci (QTL) that account for relatively small amounts of variation in behaviors for which strain distribution pattern...
