Abstract excerpt
The locomotor activity of male mice (Mus musculus) of 13 CXB (BALB/cBy x C57BL/6J) recombinant inbred (RI) strains and their progenitor strains was monitored for 4 to 6 weeks by infrared photoelectric beams under constant dark. The circadian period (tau) of locomotor activity was calculated and used in quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of strains' means. Results were compared with potential QTL found in a...
