The CXB set of RI strains is used in the genetic analysis of numerous complex or potentially complex physiologic phenotypes including differences in thyroid function (Graves' disease) and pulmonary inflammation as well as behavioral phenotypes including avoidance, exploration and locomotor activity.

The CXB set is so small that markers on different chromosomes occasionally have almost precisely the same SDP. This produces high non-syntenic association and false linkage between variance in phenotypes and genotypes. Please examine the correlation coefficients of markers close to interest loci with ALL other markers to evaluate the risk of non-syntenic association. <p>The strain distribution pattern (SDP) for the CXB RI strains is available through the Mouse Genome Informatics

The CXB set of RI strains is used in the genetic analysis of numerous complex or potentially complex physiologic phenotypes including differences in thyroid function (Graves' disease) and pulmonary inflammation as well as behavioral phenotypes including avoidance, exploration and locomotor activity. The CXB set is derived from the BALBc/ByJ (Stock No. 001026) and C57BL/6ByJ (Stock No. 001139) progenitor strains.
