The inheritance of vertebral shape in the mouse. II. A study using Fourier analysis to examine the inheritance of patterns of vertebral variation in the cervical and upper thoracic vertebral column.

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we continue an earlier study which examined shape differences between the cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae of 2 inbred strains of mice (CBA, C57BL) and their F1. Our earlier study showed that the amount of shape difference varied between different vertebrae, even from adjacent...
