Synopsis

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.

Review

`These volumes have been prepared on behalf of the Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclature for mice and provide almost all the information you might need about mouse genetics. Extensive up-to-date references are provided throughout. Access to these volumes is a must for those requiring information on the current state of mouse genetics.' Colin Hetherington, Laboratory Animals, No. 30, 1996

`a welcome update to the book originally edited by Margaret Green' Annals of Human Genetics, Vol. 61 - 1997

`an exhaustive compilation of known genetic variants and inbred strains of the mouse ... This invaluable book is a must in any biomedical reference library. The book is of immense interest to mouse geneticists as well as human geneticists. This book not only serves as an easily accessible resource of some of what is available on the Internet but it also includes chapters on related topics. This book serves as an excellent supplement and a ready-to-use hard copy of recent data on mouse genetics ... should meet the needs of a range of users, including students, research faculty, and industrial scientists across various fields.' Mitzi Nagarkatti, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Journal of Heredity 89(1)
