Researchers have created genome-wide, high-resolution genetic maps of 100 inbred mouse strains. Compared with wild-derived strains, most of today's classical lab strains have limited genetic diversity ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they expected skittish, fragile animals to struggle. Instead, the mice rapidly shed ...

It’s tiny, but this lab mouse could have a mammoth impact. With curly whiskers and wavy, light hair that grows three times longer than that of an ordinary lab mouse, the genetically modified rodent ...
