[英文釋義] Inbred strains of animals that are genetically identical except at a single locus,or a few specified loci,so that their known genetic differences are expressed in the same genetic background. A congenic strain is produced by outbreeding a strain and then eliminating the background by many generations of backcrosses while maintaining the desired genetic differences by selection of progeny.
