Product Description
Regarded as the "Bible" of mammalian embryo manipulation techniques since the 1986 publication of the first edition of Manipulating the Mouse Embryo: A Laboratory Manual, the third edition of this essential laboratory resource has now been completely reorganized, rewritten, and updated by a new cast of authors. The result is a compilation of new, cuttingÃ‚Â–-edge protocols that include embryonic stem cell production and genetic manipulation, mouse chimeras, mouse cloning, assisted reproduction strategies (including intracytoplasmic sperm injection and in vitro fertilization), whole embryo culture systems, electroporation, embryo and gamete cryopreservation and rederivation, and gene expression, as well as more extensive background information on the use of these techniques. The "gold standard" techniques for applying recombinant DNA technology to investigations of mammalian embryonic development included in the first two editions of this book are also updated and recast, as is the summary of the current state of understanding of mouse development at the molecular level. This book is the premier authoritative and comprehensive source of technical and theoretical guidance for mouse developmental biologists and geneticists and is an essential resource for newcomers to these fields.Related Titles from the Publisher Fly Pushing 2e Drosophila: A Laboratory Handbook 2e Drosophila Protocols (paperback) Mouse Phenotypes Introduction to Nervous Systems

I was purchasing this item for someone at work. They are pleased with the book and it was in great condition when it arrived. Would order it again, if needed.

An essential book! by Marcelo Fabio G. Nogueira (Assis, São Paulo state, Brazil)

This book is a truly guide to the manipulation of the mouse embryo. It provides theorectical information as well as practical protocols. Every page has useful tips and data related to the mouse phisiology and care.

A definitive summary of mouse development and simple, concise proven protocols. This is the best publication there is for this kind of work. It's much better than the 2nd, ed. I wish it had more of a troubleshooting focus, but I guess if you are in this line of work, you should be able to figure out problems yourself, or query the tg list.... I like how there are alternative strategies mentioned depending on how your lab is equiped (or not).
