Abstract excerpt
The ultimate goal of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is to identify the genes affecting complex traits. Using animal models, we recently identified QTLs on mouse Chromosomes (Chrs) 1, 4, and 11 affecting genetic predisposition to acute alcohol withdrawal. Among mice derived from the C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) inbred strains, the locus identified on Chr 11 ( approximately 20 cM) accounted for 12% of the...
