Managing A Mouse Mutant Resource Center...This is not your Father's Transgenic Core

Lab Animal volume 32, pages 31–37 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

Genetically engineered mice are making an increasingly valuable contribution to biomedical research, and many institutions have begun to assemble dedicated facilities for the development of transgenic animals. The authors describe the structure, function, and management of the transgenic core at NHGRI.
