Abstract excerpt
Mouse models may aid in the identification of genes involved in colon cancer. Our mating scheme involved mouse strains selected for maximum differences in susceptibility to DMH-induced colon tumors. Tumors were found in 40 of 122 progeny from a backcross to the resistant strain. We examined progeny animals for segregation of 177 genetic markers distributed at intervals of 5-30 cM on all mouse chromosomes....
