Abstract excerpt
Studies on the genetic regulation of growth are confounded by the multigenic basis of growth. There is a need to isolate simplified genetic systems for the study of growth. We compared two closely related mouse strains and their F1 hybrids with regard to birth and weaning weights. The strains we used were C57BL/6 (B6) and a congenic derivative of B6 (HW54) that contains a short segment of BALB/c chromosome 7...
