Stem Cells and Transgenesis

Edited by: Robert E. Hammer and Richard R. Behringer

Cover Legend

Experimental modification of the germ line in animals has been critical to many recent advances in our understanding of biological phenomena, and the research contributions of Ralph Brinster that enabled and directed this field are depicted in the cover photographs. For details about these experiments and their influence on the field of germ line modification, see "Embryo culture, stem cells and experimental modification of the embryonic genome" by J. Aréchaga in this issue pp. 861-877.
