Characterisation of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) varieties using microsatellite markers.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Koala (Koa) is a dominant mutation in mice causing bushy muzzle and pinna, and is associated with a chromosomal inversion on the distal half of chromosome 15. To identify the gene responsible for the Koa phenotypes, we investigated phenotypes of Koa homozygous mice and determined the breakpoints of the inver...
