Alcohol Preference Genetics in the House Mouse

چکیده
Rachel L. Derr, Jeremy L. Peirce and Lee M. Silver (1998) Alcohol preference genetics in the house mouse. Zoological Studies 37(1): 31-38. Various strains of inbred mice show strain-specific and widely varying levels of alcohol consumption. Most strains consume moderate levels of ethanol; however, C57BL/6 mice consume ethanol at very high levels and DBA/2 mice consume ethanol at very low levels. We have mapped several loci, 1 located on chromosome 2 and 1 on chromosome 11, which are involved in this phenotype. We outline here the progress of this research and our strategy for higher-resolution mapping and analysis of the loci discovered.

Identification of a QTL in Mus musculus for alcohol preference, withdrawal, and Ap3m2 expression using integrative functional genomics and precision genetics.
Extensive genetic and genomic studies of the relationship between alcohol drinking preference and withdrawal severity have been performed using animal models. Data from multiple such publications and public data resources have been incorporated in the GeneWeaver database with >60,000 gene sets including 285 alcohol withdrawal and preference-related gene sets. Among these are evidence for positi...

Background and Aims: Alcohol abuse is an important concern of many societies. Hippocampal neurogenesis regulates abusing drugs in a positive manner. The aim of this study was to identify factors that regulate neurogenesis in isolation period that increase preference for alcohol and salt. Materials and Methods: In this study sixteen rats were randomly divided into two groups: Pair (social) an...
متن کاملCritical evaluation of transcription factor Atf2 as a candidate modulator of alcohol preference in mouse and human populations.
In prior work, congenic strains carrying the DBA/2Igb (D2) region of chromosome 2 (Chr2) for alcohol preference were bred onto a C57BL/6Ibg (B6) background and as predicted were found to reduce voluntary consumption. Subsequently, interval-specific congenic recombinant strains (ISCRS) were generated and also tested. These ISCRS strains reduced the quantitative trait loci (QTL) interval to a com...

The identification of the efficiency of some mtDNA genes of Mus musculus species complex (house mouse) for biosystematics research was studied in this approach. Recent studies have made use of different mitochondrial genes including NADH dehydrogenase genes, cytochrome b gene, cytochrome oxidase genes, D-loop region and whole mtDNA genome to study the house mouse species. Usage of each of these...
