Male wing size increases by 45 % through cell size and cell number changes when the ws1 allele from N. giraulti is
backcrossed into a N. vitripennis genetic background.

With molecular
backcrossing, Mackill, Ronald and their many colleagues were then able to breed this overexpressed gene
into rice already popular in India, such as the legendary Swarna variety.
DJ - 1 knockout mice were generated and originally characterized by Chandran and colleagues (2008) and given to us after having been
backcrossed at least two generations
into C57BL / 6J.
We
backcrossed the DJ - 1 mice for an additional three generations
into C57BL / 6J prior to mating one DJ - 1 + / − mouse with one PolgWT / MT mouse.
To positional clone this major sex - specific wing QTL and to more precisely describe its phenotypic effects we (a) reduced the size of the introgressed sequence flanking the ws1 locus to a 40kb segment (see fine - scale mapping and cloning below) and (b)
backcrossed the introgressed ws1g segment
into a standard N. vitripennis strain (AsymCX) genetic background for > 10 generations.
