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...
