Genetically Engineered Mice Handbook

by John P. Sundberg (Editor), Tsutomu Ichiki (Editor)

Overview

This comprehensive book covers all aspects of the field of genetically engineered laboratory mice, including the creation of mutant mice through mouse models for developmental biology and the monitoring of laboratory mouse colonies. Written by leading biomedical investigators, pathologists, and clinicians, this book presents systematic approaches for analyzing mutant laboratory mice for specific medical applications. It provides a variety of methods for creating mutant mice, while covering legal aspects of mutant and inbred laboratory mice as well as the use and maintenance of international databases.

Editorial Reviews

"…I found an oasis of practical information making this book well worth obtaining. …clear and concise …descriptions of cryopreservation techniques for embryos, gametes, and ovarian tissue. Everything you need to know was laid out in outline form with illustrations and references."
—Mark Klinger for Laboratory Animal Practitioner, Vol. 39, No. 1, March 2006

"The Genetically Engineered Mice Handbook effectively summarizes commonly used and emerging technologies to generate, characterize, and conduct research on genetically engineered mice . . . provides a broad multinational perspective on the use of genetically engineered mice for functional genomics research . . . well organized and highly informative. . ."

– Dr. Cory Brayton, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, in Veterinary Pathology, 2007, Vol. 44, No. 4
