Abstract
Linkage between body length (anus to nose (AN) length) and three markers on the mouse X Chromosome was found in an interspecific backcross ((C57BL/6J x Mus spretus) F 1x C57BL/6J), designated BSB. A cross of 409 mice were scored for 148 genetic markers distributed on all chromosomes except the Y Chromosome. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant linkage (LOD score 5.5) between body length and a locus in the middle portion of the X Chromosome, the nearest markers being the microsatellite marker DXMit73 and a farnesyl pyrophosphate locus (Fpsl9) 3.1 cM proximal to DXMit73. The locus explains 10% of the variance in AN length and affects both males and females to about the same extent.Entities:
