Abstract excerpt
Initial insensitivity to alcohol is a strong predictor of human alcoholism, a widespread and heritable health problem. The Long Sleep and Short Sleep lines of mice were developed by genetic selection for high or low alcohol sensitivity. We have identified seven quantitative trait loci (QTLs) specifying differences in alcohol sensitivity using intercross progeny from these selected strains. These QTLs...
