Manipulating the Mouse Embryo: A Laboratory Manual

A comprehensive source of technical guidance for experienced investigators and essential resource for newcomers to mammalian genetics and embryology. This edition (1st ed., 1986) is revised and expanded to incorporate improvements to existing methods as well as new technologies. It contains new sections on the production and analysis of transgenic mice, the manipulation of preimplantation embryos to generate chimeras, the culture and manipulation of embryonic stem cells, including gene "knockouts," and techniques for visualizing genes, gene products, and specific cell types. As before, included with the protocols is a summary of current understanding of mouse development at a molecular level. Plastic comb-binding. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
