Transgenic Animal Technology - 3rd Edition by Carl A Pinkert (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Transgenic animal technologies and the ability to introduce functional genes into animals have revolutionized our ability to address complex biomedical and biological questions. This well-illustrated handbook covers the technical aspects of gene transfer -- from molecular methods to whole animal considerations -- for 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. This second edition incorporates updates on a variety of genetic engineering technologies ranging from microinjection and ES cell transfer to nuclear transfer in a broad range of animal modeling systems.

Review Quotes

"...a valuable laboratory asset for any researcher working with genetically modified animals..." --Lab Animal

"...reasonably priced and provides a good review of transgenic technology that can be used by a novice or experienced Individual...figures and tables are of good quality and a nice supplement to the lnformation contained in the chapters." --Laboratory Animal Practitioner

"The handbook will be a valuable resource for two audiences, one seeking a broad appreciation for transgenic animal technology, which can be gained by reading the handbook cover to cover, and the other seeking concise descriptions of focused techniques, which can be found by selection of specific chapters." --Transgenics, 2013"This handbook would be valuable to the investigators producing transgenic animal models. It is well organized and the handbook provides a thorough description of current animal transgenic technology across a host of animals." --Analytical Biochemistry, 2003
