Description

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.
