In this study, a genetic factor affecting the appearance of the gutter-shaped root (GSR) in mice was examined using two inbred strains of mice, C57L/J and C57BL/6, J, and the genetic crosses of these strains. 120 Mit markers, which exist on mouse chromosome 17, have been investigated to select polym...
