Abstract excerpt
In a QTL mapping study with an F2 population of mice, we have shown that one or more sex-linked factors account for a large part of the divergence between mouse lines selected for high and low body weight. Here, we describe a study undertaken to map the putative X-linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs) by backcrossing segments of chromosome from the high line onto an inbred line derived from the low line, thereby...
