Bar Harbor Lab Maps Muscular Dystrophy Gene in Mice
The Roscoe B Jackson Memorial Laboratory in Bar Harbor Maine reports discovery of an autosomal recessive dystrophy gene in mice from inbred strain 129. Dr Elizabeth S Russell leads work with all dystrophic litters and ovarian transplant techniques to boost yield. Researchers seek chromosome location of the dy gene using crossbreeding with marker genes to construct a chromosome map and study preclinical treatments.
