چکیده
The Embryo Collection of the Hubrecht Laboratory is a treasure house of comparative embryology. It is the largest and most important collection of its kind in the world, and consists of thousands of vertebrate embryos stored in alcohol, or prepared as histological sections. Many elusive species are included in the collection, some represented by complete developmental series. The accompanying archives offer a remarkable insight into the methods used to collect embryos form wild animals, as well as the motives behind the founders of the collection. Carefully maintained, documented and catalogued, the collection is available for study by all interested scientists. We argue that this collection is one of the greatest biodiversity resources in existence.

متن کاملTwirler: a mutant affecting the inner ear of the house mouse.
T H E mutant twirler, symbol Tw, of the house mouse, Mus musculus, was first recognized by the 'waltzing' behaviour which the heterozygotes show. It was later found to affect the morphology of the inner ear and, when homozygous, to cause death of new-born animals through harelip and cleft palate. This paper describes the behaviour and ear defects of heterozygotes and the appearance of homozygot...
