Effects of multiple retrovirus insertions on quantitative traits of mice.

Abstract excerpt

To assess the potential to generate quantitative genetic variation by insertional mutagenesis in a vertebrate, lines of mice in which many provirus vector inserts segregated at a low initial frequency on an inbred background (insert lines) were subjected to divergent artificial selection on body weight at 6 weeks and responses and heritability estimates compared to control lines lacking inserts. Heritability...
