Location of the Mup-a locus on mouse linkage group VIII

Abstract
By the use of pintail (Pt) and brown (b) as markers, the location of Mup-a, a locus controlling electrophoretic variation of one of the components of the major urinary protein (MUP) complex, on mouse linkage group VIII has been determined. The order and intervals determined from recombination frequencies in 121 offspring from a back-cross were Pt 4·1 b 6·6 Mup-a.
