This unique book integrates knowledge from a wide range of expertise, specifically applied to the mouse and addressed at a wide audience from those new to the field to experts who want an update on the state of the art. Mouse Genetics and Transgenics: A Practical Approach covers all aspects of using the mouse as a genetic model organism: care and husbandry, archiving stocks as frozen embryos or sperm, making new mutations by chemical mutagenesis, transgenesis, gene targeting, mapping mutations and polygenic traits by cytogenetic, genetic, and physical means, and disseminating and researching information via the Internet.
