Fine Mapping and Candidate Gene Search of Quantitative Trait Loci for Growth and Obesity Using Mouse Intersubspecific Subcongenic Intercrosses and Exome Sequencing

Although growth and body composition traits are quantitative traits of medical and agricultural importance, the genetic and molecular basis of those traits remains elusive. Our previous genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses in an intersubspecific backcross population between C57BL/6JJc...
