Mouse Molecular Embryology, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2014
Methods and Protocols
Methods in Molecular Biology Series, Vol. 1092

In Mouse Molecular Embryology: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the protocols used to study  mouse embryology.  These include protocols and techniques that  are "close to the embryo": such as, manipulating embryonic gene expression, culturing explanted embryonic tissue and harvesting embryonic RNA.  With additional chapters on fluorescence imaging, lineage tracing, and genetic ablation. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology  series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Mouse Molecular Embryology: Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientist in the further study of mouse embryo and its relation to other aspects of biological research.
