Transgenic Mouse Methods and Protocols

Genetically very similar to the human species, mice play an important role in biomedical research and have served as experimental models for a wide variety of pathologies, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and behavioral disorders. In Transgenic Mouse Methods and Protocols, Marten Hofker an...
