Editorial Reviews
"The Jackson Lab crew, with assists from other contributors, have put together a reference for scientists, mouse geneticists, managers and lab animal veterinarians. … This new edition is a valuable reference for those involved with transgenic mice and mice colonies where specific mutations are maintained as research models."
-Mark Klinger in Laboratory Animal Practitioner
