At the crossroads of developmental genetics: the cloning of the classical mouse T locus.

Abstract excerpt

The discovery, more than 60 years ago, of a mutant mouse with a short tail led to the birth of the new field of developmental genetics. Over the years since, numerous investigators have probed the biology of the original short-tail mutation at the T locus, as well the naturally-occurring t haplotypes that were uncovered as a result of their interaction with this mutation. Although the T locus ranks among the best...
