Abstract excerpt
We screened for natural mutations in Crl:CF1 closed colony mice using an ordinary backcrossing system. Five of 30 CF1 males carried novel genes that caused white spots on colored coats. Their backcross progenies showed a white spot phenotype. The white spot gene was mapped to approximately 39 cM on chromosome 5, where the Kit gene is known to reside. Allelism testing between this spot gene and the Kit gene was...
