Abstract excerpt
New alleles of brachyury (Tkt1, Tkt4) were induced in the mouse complete tw5 haplotype by ethylnitrosourea (ENU). Like the original brachyury (T) mutation, the new alleles cause a short-tailed phenotype in heterozygotes, and interact with the t complex tail interaction factor (tct) in trans to cause phenotypically tailless mice. Because ENU is mainly a point mutagen, it is important to determine that the new...
