Supplier
Both sexes of 61 BXD RI lines were studied. BXD 1–42/TyJ strains were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). BXD RI lines, designated */Rww, were provided by Drs. Lu Lu and Robert W. Williams (University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis TN), prior to importation at JAX. */Rww strains have been updated with current nomenclature (*/RwwJ) to best integrate these data with other MPD data.
