Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mouse chromosome 2 is linked to growth and body fat phenotypes in many mouse crosses. With the goal to identify the underlying genes regulating growth and body fat on mouse chromosome 2, we developed five overlapping subcongenic strains that contained CAST/EiJ donor regions in a C57BL/6J (hg/hg) background (hg is a spontaneous deletion of 500 Kb on mouse chromosome 10). To fine map QTL on distal mouse...
