Practical Reproductive Techniques for the Common Marmoset

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is commonly used as a subject model animal in experimental research. The species has several advantages compared with other laboratory primates and we succeeded in creating a transgenic (Tg) marmoset with germline transmission of the transgene, the first time in a nonhuman primate. We have been attempting to further improve marmoset reproductive technology, which is more similar to that of humans than...
