Nasal bone shape is under complex epistatic genetic control in mouse interspecific recombinant congenic strains.

Genetic determinism of cranial morphology in the mouse is still largely unknown, despite the localization of putative QTLs and the identification of genes associated with Mendelian skull malformations. To approach the dissection of this multigenic control, we have used a set of interspecific recombi...
