Article co-authored by Dr. Clarissa Parker, Dr. Riyan Cheng, and Dr. Abraham Palmer published in Mammalian Genome
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.
