Abstract
The development and use of recombinant inbred (RI) strains may prove to be one of the most significant advances in mammalian genetics since the development of congenic lines. These strains will probably lead to the identification and mapping of a large number of new polymorphic genetic loci and the further genetic analysis of a number of complex or difficult characteristics, such as skin graft rejection and susceptibility to spontaneous and infectious diseases.
