Abstract excerpt
Genetic susceptibility to chemically induced skin cancer in mice is controlled by multiple unlinked genetic loci. Mus spretus mice have dominant resistance genes which confer resistance to interspecific F1 hybrids with susceptible Mus musculus strains. We have mapped three major resistance loci using a combination of Mapmaker/QTL analysis and multiple regression analysis to mouse chromosomes 5 and 7. At least two...
