Abstract

Mario Capecchi recently won the Nobel Prize for contributions to genetics that have catapulted the mouse to the status of the most valuable of all animal models. He has a personal story that is as rich and interesting as his science. Here, he discusses the journey that led him to gene targeting and his vision for the future.
