Genetic mapping of molar size relations identifies inhibitory locus for third molars in mice.
Heredity - 1 Jul 2018
Navarro Nicolas, Murat Maga A
Abstract excerpt
Molar size in Mammals shows considerable disparity and exhibits variation similar to that predicted by the Inhibitory Cascade model. The importance of such developmental systems in favoring evolutionary trajectories is also underlined by the fact that this model can predict macroevolutionary patterns. Using backcross mice, we mapped QTL for molar sizes controlling for their sequential development. Genetic...
