Abstract excerpt

Mouse coat colour genes have long been studied as a paradigm for genetic interactions in development. A number of these genes have been cloned and most correspond to human genetic disease loci. The proteins encoded by these genes include transcription factors, receptor tyrosine kinases and growth...
