Abstract
The ancestory of Koller's subline of the C57BL strain is not known. A study of the minor skeletal variants in this subHne showed that it differs from the other ten sublines of C57BL more than they difier from each other. It appears to have separated from. the rest before the genotypes of the sublines had been fixed by inbreeding. There is enough evidence to show that it is indeed a branch of C57BL strain.The rate of divergence of the sublines of C57BL is surprisingly high. It is reconsidered whether the whole of this divergence can be explained by recent mutations or whether residual heterozygosis has also played a part in it.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
