Genetic polymorphisms revealed two distinct substrains of the inbred strain 101. One group included substrains 101*/Rl, 101/H and 101/HOxe; the other group comprised 101/El and 101/Sl. The two groups differed at 5 of the 8 genetic loci tested. The accompanying paper (Evans, Burtenshaw & Adler, 1985) shows that the two groups also differ for several chromosome polymorphisms. We suggest that genetic contamination occurred during the derivation of 101/El from 101/Rl and was already present in 101/El when 101/Sl was produced from this substrain. We further propose that these substrains be renamed 102/El and 102/Sl respectively.
