     This is data from a real experiment on susceptibility to Listeria
     monocytogenes infection in the mouse.  The phenotype is the
     survival time (in hours) following infection.  Mice with phenotype
     264.0 hours may be considered to have recovered from the
     infection. See the references below.  We thank Victor Boyartchuk
     and William Dietrich for allowing us to distribute these data with
     the R/qtl package.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     The data is an object of class `cross'.  See `read.cross' for
     details. There are 120 F2 individuals typed at 133 markers,
     including 2 on the X chromosome, with one phenotype.
