Abstract excerpt
Levels of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are often taken as indicators of the degree to which genotypes differ in their ability to buffer genetic and environmental sources of variation. Interval mapping techniques were used to search for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting directional asymmetry (DA) and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in six bilateral discrete skeletal traits in house mice. These six characters as...
