Abstract
Identification of genes underlying complex traits such as pubertal timing, is vital to our understanding of fundamental human developmental processes. Animal models can provide an important adjunct to more traditional human investigations. Within this review, we discuss the use and advantages of chromosome substitution strains in the investigation of factors that regulate the timing of the onset of puberty.
