Sommario/riassunto

The sequencing of the mouse genome has placed the mouse front and center as the most important mammalian genetics model. However, no recent volume has detailed the genetic contributions the mouse has made across the spectrum of the life sciences; this book aims to fill



that vacuum. Mouse genetics research has made enormous contributions to the understanding of basic genetics, human genetics, and livestock genetics and breeding. The wide-ranging topics in the book include the mouse genome sequencing effort, molecular dissection of quantitative traits, embryo biotechnology, ENU mutagenesis, and

Sommario/riassunto

Although anxiety disorders may begin at any age, they often start in childhood. This book challenges some of the field's most respected researchers to take a fresh look at the major factors that contribute to the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders in childhood and throughout life.
