Twentieth Century Mouse Genetics: A Historical And Scientific Review

Twentieth Century Mouse Genetics: A Historical and Scientific Review provides a comprehensive examination of key advances in mouse genetic models throughout the twentieth century. Here Dr. Robert P. Erickson, a leader in the field, identifies the contributions of historic mouse genetics studies, and how those approaches and early discoveries are still shaping human genetics research and medical genetics today. In addition to historical overviews, the author provides researcher biographies and modern case studies connecting historic research to ongoing advances. Past studies discussed include the discovery of the T-locus, t-haplotypes in the wild and reproductive isolation, cytogenetics studies, population genetics and mutation studies, immunogenetics studies, reproductive genetics studies, cloning, X-inactivation and epigenetics research, sex determination studies, and pharmacogenetics studies. Here researchers, students, and clinicians will find fresh inspiration to engage in human genetics research employing mouse models, and to translate those findings to clinical practice. Offers a comprehensive examination of key advances in mouse genetic models throughout the twentieth century Features modern case studies connecting historic research to ongoing advances Authored by a thought-leader in the field
