Opis

This book is the first publication to provide comprehensive guidance regarding the identification, characterization, and interpretation of mouse developmental defects. It emphasizes the interpretation of abnormal phenotypes and provides detailed protocols for appropriately processing mouse embryos, fetuses, neonates, juveniles, and placentas. A
