Abstract excerpt
We previously used the C57BL/6J (B6) × A/J mouse chromosome substitution strain (CSS) panel to identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 11 influencing methamphetamine (MA)-induced locomotor activity. We then made an F(2) cross between CSS-11 and B6 and narrowed the locus (Bayes credible interval: 79-109 Mb) which was inherited dominantly and accounted for 14% of the phenotypic variance in the...
