Genetic analysis of murine malaria
The project included a genome-wide polymorphism questionnaire using microsatellite markers performed on 10 WDIS. Comparisons of these strains to laboratory inbred strains validated a higher rate of polymorphism among the WDIS. We deduce that these WDIS signify repositories of unique naturally occurring genetic variability that could turn out to be important for the research of complex phenotypes.
