Overview on Mouse Mutagenesis

  • Protocol
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 530))

Abstract

In this chapter we give an overview of mutagenesis methods in the mouse as they evolved over the last two decades, an outlook of ongoing and future developments and advice for choosing a mutagenesis strategy. Where appropriate, reference is given to relevant chapters of this book, key original articles and links of web-based resources for mouse mutagenesis.
