Abstract excerpt
Monodelphis domestica, the laboratory opossum, develops hyperplasia and neoplasia of shaved skin after repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). We exposed Monodelphis from genetically diverse families within our colony to determine whether there are any heritable components to the risk of two distinct skin lesion phenotypes-melanocytic nevus (MN) and advanced hyperkeratosis (HK). From about 5 months of...
