Inbred Strains
of Mice: MOLG
Inbr. F17+14. White-bellied agouti , A
w . Derived by Davisson
from an incipient inbred strain MOLC/Rk (now extinct) at F14, itsself
derived from
Mus musculus molussinus imported from Dr. Michael
Potter to the Jackson Laboratory in 1969. These mice were said to be
"within one to three generations of [mice] captured in the wild." Has
a very large probable duplication of heterochromatin C-band near the centromere
of chr. 2. which provides a cytological marker for gene mapping of proximal
end of this chromosome.
