Genetic Mosaics and Chimeras in Mammals by L B Russell
Liane B. Russell Biology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, TN 37830 Composite individuals have always excited mankind's imagina- tion. Even the earliest recorded mythologies are full of fanciful examples of creatures such as centaurs, mermaids, androgynes, and winged horses. While real, naturally occurring, mosaics might not appear as spectacular to the popular mind, their study -- particu- larly in Drosophila and plants -- has made important contributions to genetics, starting relatively early in this century. In mammals, too, examples of mosaics resulting from early or late somatic muta- tions and from abnormal egg maturation and/or fertilization events have been known since the 1930's and exploited for the information they could provide on such subjects as the or1g1n of the germline and the extent of cell mixing (see Russell 1964). Two major, and unrelated, advances, both published 17 years ago, suddenly provided a wealth of material for the study of mam- malian mosaicism. One was the successful manipulation of early embryos to make viable aggregation chimeras (Tarkowski 1961; Mintz 1962) -- a feat made possible by earlier advances in embryo culture and transfer. The other was the hypothesis that only one X chromo- some of a mammal is active (Lyon 1961; Russell 1961) and that, by virtue of the fact that the choice of the active X is made at ran- dom early in development, the normal mammalian female is a mosaic for any X-linked genetic heterozygosity.| SKU | NLS9781468433920 |

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
