Notes

• Experiment
  Ri1 (recognition of identity 1), a locus associated with mate identification and preference in females, is thought to exist in the H2 region of mouse Chromosome 17. Experiments with C57BL/6 and B6.A-H2-T18^a/BoyEgJ congenic animals showed that C57BL/6 males preferred to mate with C57BL/6 females and B6.A-H2-T18^a/BoyEgJ males preferred to mate with B6.A-H2-T18^a/BoyEgJ females. The B6.A-H2-T18^a/BoyEgJ congenic carries A/J-derived DNA at the H2-T18 locus on a C57BL/6 genetic background. Ri1 is thought to be located near H2-T18 (19.78 cM). A male-specific mate preference locus named Ri2 is thought to be located elsewhere in the H2 region.
