1933 Biochem. Jrnl. 27 6 In all the work discussed in this paper we have, unless otherwise stated, compared only isogenic animals (animals of the same sex and from the same litter).
1943 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 29 361 Three homozygous stocks were obtained, which were isogenic except for the fourth chromosome.
1950 Jrnl. Exper. Zool. 113 123 To obtain a culture isogenic with the recessive parent, employ the usual backcross procedure.
1956 Nature 7 Jan. 42/2 Males of a wild-type (‘Canton-S’) stock of Drosophila melanogaster, which had been made isogenic some time before the experiments, were crossed to homozygous ci ey r females.
1970 Nature 7 Feb. 557/1 This method..is especially suitable for characters in which the distributions of the isogenic parental strains are not clearly dichotomous.
1973 Nature 9 Feb. 383/2 The relatively uniform appearance and behaviour of the aggressive isolates suggest that these are highly isogenic, possibly with a recent origin from a single clone.
