Notes

Mapping and Phenotype information for this QTL, its variants and associated markers

J:98477

QTLs associated with novelty/stress-induced locomotor activation were mapped using a series of recombinant inbred (RI) and recombinant congenic (RC) strains derived from C57BL/6J and A/J progenitor strains. Progenitor strain C57BL/6J exhibits greater activation of locomotor activity when placed in a novel open field environment compared to progenitor strain A/J. 1159 animals from the AXB/BXA RI series were genotyped with a panel of 780 polymorphic markers. 13 AcB and 31 BcA RC strains were genotyped witha panel of 625 polymorphic markers.

In the AXB/BXA RI population, a locus at 63 cM on mouse Chromosome 14 near D14Mit36 (LOD=3.69) showed significant linkage to locomotor activation in a novel environment. This locus is designated Nsila10 (novelty/stress induced locomotor activation 10). The A/J-derived allele at Nsila10 is associated with increased novelty/stress induced activation of locomotor activity.
