Product Review
"a good reference on a broad range of mouse-related topics. the book is recommended for pathologists working in genomics research and for departmental-level libraries." - Dr. C. B. Clifford, Charles River Laboratories for JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY (2005) "The many line drawings, gray-tone and color photographs, photomicrographs, charts, and tables are clear, are placed adjacent to relevant text, and have self-explanatory legends. The ullustrations add greatly to the usefulness of the bookit would be hard to find one that provides so much current and research-relevant information in one place." - Lauretta W.

Reader Reviews
This book should be in the lab of every scientist that uses mice in his/her research. My lab was very depressed when I took it to my new job.
