The book also highlights the ferret genome project, along with the emerging technology of genetically engineered ferrets, which is of particular importance to the future of the ferret as an animal model in research and will allow the investigation of diseases and their genetic basis in a small, easily maintained, non-rodent species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors ix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I Biology and Husbandry 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Taxonomy, History, and Use 5\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJames G.
