Strategies in transgenic animal science

the long version

This text was prepared to introduce a broad range of topics in transgenic animal science to biomedical researchers. This book focuses more on the use of transgenic animal models in diverse areas of research than on the technology itself. Chapters 1 through 4 review the fundamental issues involved in the effective use of transgenic animals in experimental settings. The rest of the chapters in the book are by leading researchers who describe how transgenic animal science has been effectively integrated into important research on human health and disease. Written and edited by leading molecular biologists and biomedical scientists, this text will serve as an essential text and reference in transgenic animal science.
