A gene, Hst-3, responsible for sterility in F1 males from crosses between Mus spretus and laboratory strains of mice such as C57BL/6, has been localized on the distal part of the X chromosome, using both DNA probes and biochemical markers on a panel of Fl(C57BL/6 × SEG) × C57BL/6 backcross males. This gene may be a model for studying mammalian hybrid sterility.
