Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate selection responses and heterotic effects in mouse line crosses after ten generations of selection. Four mouse lines were analyzed: G, L, W and C, selected for growth (body weight at 42 days [BW42]), tail length at 42 days [TL], litter size at birth [LS], and the control line, respectively. After 10 generations of selection the first set of crosses was created; in generation 12, backcrosses and three-way crosses were made. In the crosses the following traits were analyzed:
