The frizzy (fr) mutation in Mus musculus affects hair structure and formation. Early studies demonstrated that the gene responsible for frizzy assorts to mouse Chromosome 7 along with pink-eyed dilution (p), chinchilla (cch), and shaker-1 (sh-1). ...
In human hypertrophy and heart failure, death often occurs following an arrhythmia. Researchers are still looking for the underlying causes of these arrhythmias. It has been determined that ion channels control cardiac rhythm, and that...

The effects of impervious surfaces on river systems as a result of urbanization are well documented and include such changes as increases in the magnitude and frequency of peak discharge, diminishing lag times, decreases in base flow and the...
The recessive male sterility and histoincompatibility mutation (mshi) in the mouse generates pleiotropic effects on graft transplantation and male reproduction. Previous analysis of backcross mice using a large set of microsatellite markers has...
The mouse frizzy (fr) mutation arose on a genetically mixed background and was first described by G.D. Snell of The Jackson Laboratory in 1951. Mice carrying this recessive mutation have curly vibrissae which can be observed as early as one to two...
The mouse frizzy (fr) mutation is a Mendelian recessive trait that affects hair structure and formation in mice. The mutation arose in a mouse of mixed origin at the Jackson Lab (Bar Harbor, ME) in 1951. Frizzy is known to be linked to other genes...
The male sterility and histoincompatibility mutation (mshi) is an autosomal recessive mutation that produces apparently pleiotropic effects in mice. Mice homozygous for mshi manifest two distinct phenotypes. In both male and female mice, the...
Investigation of X-linked histocompatibility may offer an opportunity to find CD and HD minor H haplotype components which are widely separated on the X chromosome. The presence of the HX antigen is detected by placing parental strain grafts onto...
As an Advanced Placement Calculus (APC) teacher I have observed many students struggle with the transition from pre-calculus to calculus. Many of these students were successful in algebra, geometry, and even pre-calculus but the concepts of...
The male sterility and histoincompatibility mutant, mshi, results from a recessive mutation that arose spontaneously in the BALB/cBy inbred mouse strain. Using a 402-member BALB/cBy-mshi/mshi (BALB/cBy-mshi C57BL/6J) F1 backcross panel, the...
