| abstractText | The recessive mutation squiggle tail (squig) arose spontaneously in the BALB/cJ inbred strain at The Jackson Laboratory in 2013. Homozygotes have a shortened and very curly tail. Intercrosses of heterozygotes yields approximately 25% mutants, consistent with complete penetrance. Both female and male homozygotes breed and live a normal lifespan. This mutation was mapped to an interval on Chromosome 11 between rs3700839 at position 79,839,840 bp and rs3023766 at position 116,922,731 bp, with no recombinants out of twenty F2 homozygotes with rs4229101 at position 102,148,912 bp (GRCm38). |
