Transgenesis techniques [electronic resource] : principles and protocols / edited by David Murphy, David A. Carter.
Practical methods for the generation and analysis of transgenic animals, covering a comprehensive range of species, from invertebrates to lower vertebrates to higher vertebrates. Chapters examine ways in which transgenic techniques can be used to address many problems in biological systems present i...
