Abstract:
Transgenic animal technologies and the ability to introduce functional genes into animals have revolutionized our ability to address complex biomedical and biological questions, as well as to make practical applications to production agriculture. This well-illustrated handbook covers the technical aspects of gene transfer in animals--from molecular methods to whole animal considerations--for the important laboratory and domestic animal species. It describes methodologies as employed by leading laboratories and is a key resource for researchers, as well as a tool for training technicians and students. Key Features * Contains a comprehensive collection of transgenic animal and gene transfer methods * Discusses background and introduction to techniques and animal systems * Teaches practical step-by-step protocols * Describes mouse model systems * Covers laboratory and domestic animal species, including: * Rabbits and rats * Poultry and fish * Swine and ruminants * Illustrated with diagrams and photographs * Includes useful tables and charts.
