Abstract
GENETIC tests have been completed for possible linkage between the four mutant alleles, ruby-eye (ru) and cream1 (e), acromelanic albinism2 (cd) and piebald spotting3 (s), of the hamster Mesocricetus auratus. Each of the ten possible combinations with four genes, and with the sex-differentiating segment of the Y chromosome treated as a dominant gene, has been studied.
