Data changelog No updates/corrections.       Initial release date: 01/2008.
An intercross between DBA/2J and PERA/EiJ was generated to identify QTLs for cholesterol gallstone susceptibility. At 6-8 wks of age, backcross progeny of both sexes were administered a high-fat (15%) diet for 8 wks and examined for gallstone formation and related phenotypes. Mice were fasted prior to sample collection. For detailed protocols see Wittenburg et al 2005.
