| abstractText | Full text of MNL contribution: Research news. Work is continuing on the genetics of tasting in mice. On the chemical aspect, a variety of acetylated sugars are being tested for bitterness with SWR mice in an attempt to identify the chemical structure which tastes bitter to mice which have the Soaa allele. On the genetical aspect, collaborative work with Azen (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and Taylor (Jackson Lab., Bar Harbor) has shown close linkage between Qui (quinine tasting) and the genes for salivary proline-rich proteins (PRP) which are probably on chromosome 8 (Azen et al. 1984. Science 226, 967). No recombination was found between Qui and an RFLP in the PRP gene cluster in any the 20 BXD RI strains tested. |
