Abstract excerpt
Body weight and fatness are quantitative traits of agricultural and medical importance. In previous genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses, two QTLs for body weight and weight gain at an early postnatal growth period were discovered on mouse chromosome 10 from a gene pool of wild subspecies mice, Mus musculus castaneus. In this study, we developed a congenic strain with an approximately 63-Mb...
