Mouse Genetics

Dr. Dewey's research has involved the development and study of genetic models affecting developmental, physiological, and behavioral processes. He has employed both laboratory mice (Mus musculus) and deer mice (Peromyscus) which are native to North America. Useful genetic variation was identified through the traditional analyses of naturally occurring variant phenotypes or generated by the more direct approach of transgenic mouse production.
