All aspects of using the mouse as a genetic model organism are covered: care and husbandry; archiving stocks; chemical mutagenesis; transgenesis; gene targetting; mapping mutations and polygenic traits by cytogenetic, genetic, and physical means; and information on the Internet.

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.

We give a thumbs up to a book already well thumbed and in use in the lab.
