Genes that affect the shape of the murine mandible

Small specific regions of the adult murine mandible are found to be expanded or contracted by the effects of genes sorted out as passenger genes in a set of congenic strains. The large estimated number of such genes could provide a genetic basis for morphological change during speciation.
