The article, "Fine-mapping alleles for body weight in LG/J × SM/J F2 and F34 advanced intercross lines," has been published in Mammalian Genome. Dr. Clarissa Parker, Dr. Riyan Cheng, and Dr. Abraham Palmer are co-authors along with Greta Sokoloff, Jackie E. Lim, Andrew D. Skol, and Mark Abney.

This paper was a team effort to use body weight data that we'd collected as part of the methamphetamine studies. Since these animals had been selected for divergent body size prior to inbreeding, we figured there would be a number of relevant alleles. It is the first example of using forward model selection with QTLRel to build a multi-QTL model.
