Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of obesity has been analyzed in an intercross between the mouse strains AKR/J and C57L/J. Two novel obesity quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified using the strategy of selective DNA pooling. One QTL affecting adiposity, Obq3, was mapped to a 39-cM segment near the middle of Chromosome 2, with a peak lod score (5.1) just distal to the D2Mit15 locus. The AKR/J Obq3 allele confers...
