From the reviews:

"Mutagenesis of the Mouse Genome is a collection of papers originally presented at the Second Georgia Genetics Symposium in 2002 and printed in a special issue of Genetica in 2004. ... this volume collects in one place much information that will prove valuable to current and prospective users of the wealth of mice produced by chemical mutagenesis. ... this book provides a strong introduction to the origins, acquisition and use of mutagenized mice."
