Abstract excerpt
A recently-developed method of gene mapping is reviewed. Several responses to EtOH were studied with the purpose of identifying genes with modest effects (Quantitative Trait Loci, or QTLs). As an example, results from a study of acute ethanol withdrawal severity are discussed. Mice from inbred st...
