Genetic Variants and Strains of the Laboratory Mouse: for the International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice

This is the first comprehensive reference work for information on genes and other genetic variants of the mouse. It provides descriptions of, and references for, all gene loci and chromosome anomalies. DNA polymorphisms, repeated DNA families, and variants found in wild mice are also listed. A compendium of genetic maps is provided, including overall recombination maps and cytogenetic maps, and more detailed maps of cancer-related genes, the mouse t-complex, translocations and other chromosomal breakpoints, chromosomal inversions, and a map of regions homologous between man and mouse. Information on inbred, congenic, and recombinant inbred strains is provided.Lyon, Mary F. is the author of 'Genetic Variants and Strains of the Laboratory Mouse: for the International Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for Mice', published 1989 under ISBN 9780198542049 and ISBN 0198542046.
