Riassunto

This book constitutes a unique source of hard-copy information on mouse variants and is an essential work of reference for biologists who use mouse genetic strains and variants in their research. The third edition reflects the great expansion of knowledge in the field in recent years, and includes new chapters and data. As in earlier editions, the main chapter provides a catalogue of all known mouse genes. Genetic maps are supported by a large table of data on recombination fractions.

Recensione

These volumes have been prepared on behalf of the Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for mice and provide almost all the information you might need about mouse genetics. Extensive up-to-date references are provided throughout. Access to these volumes is a must for those requiring information on the current state of mouse genetics. (Colin Hetherington, Laboratory Animals, No. 30, 1996)

a welcome update to the book originally edited by Margaret Green (Annals of Human Genetics, Vol. 61 - 1997)

an exhaustive compilation of known genetic variants and inbred strains of the mouse ... This invaluable book is a must in any biomedical reference library. The book is of immense interest to mouse geneticists as well as human geneticists. This book not only serves as an easily accessible resource of some of what is available on the Internet but it also includes chapters on related topics. This book serves as an excellent supplement and a ready-to-use hard copy of recent data on mouse genetics ... should meet the needs of a range of users, including students, research faculty, and industrial scientists across various fields.
