Mouse Genetics: Concepts and Applications by Lee M. Silver (Princeton University) is designed for both advanced students and practicing scientists interested in understanding and using the mouse as a model system for genomic analysis. The first half of the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the mouse, including a history of the field; mouse phylogenetic relationships; standard crosses, nomenclature, and specialized strains; reproduction and breeding; genome organization and evolution; and an overview of mutagenesis and transgenesis.The second half is aimed at the practicing geneticist, with detailed approaches to breeding experiments and interpreting mapping data. A discussion of statistical analysis as it applies to well-defined experimental crosses is provided, along with graphs and tables for interpreting linkage data derived from recombinant inbred strain and backcross studies. Although focused on the mouse as a model system, much of the material applies equally to mapping studies in other experimental mammals. 1995, 376 pages. [Oxford University Press (800/451-7556)]
