Abstract excerpt
A DNA insertional mutation at the microphthalmia locus (mi) in a transgenic mouse has been developed and given the allele symbol of mitg (Krakowsky et al., 1993). Mice homozygous for this transgene have eyes markedly reduced in size and relatively unpigmented. In this study, we examined the morph...
