Interval mapping of high growth (hg), a major locus that increases weight gain in mice.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1995

Abstract excerpt

The high growth locus (hg) causes a major increase in weight gain and body size in mice. As a first step to map-based cloning of hg, we developed a genetic map of the hg-containing region using interval mapping of 403 F2 from a C57BL/6J-hghg x CAST/EiJ cross. The maximum likelihood position of hg...
