[tctN-mutation causing taillessness in mice heterozygous for gene T].

Abstract excerpt

Screening of wild male mice trapped in Turkmenistan (Middle Asia) revealed a mouse with a mutation causing strong increase in expressivity of T mutation (Brachyury). A novel mutation was designated tctN-t complex tail interaction Novosibirsk. Compound heterozygotes T/tctN have tailless of extremely short tailed phenotype. Homozygotes tctN/tctN were completely viable and fertile. It was shown that the novel...
