In the world of biomedical research, the humble lab mouse is a superstar—it’s easy enough to rear in large quantities, shares a considerable amount of core biological processes with humans, and is ...

In the wild, a mouse or rat leads a precarious life. In the city, they dodge traps, poisons, and broom-wielding humans. In the countryside, they face owls, shotguns, and more poison. As Australia’s ...

A new study has examined social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. A new Cornell University study is the first to examine social behavior of lab mice in large outdoor enclosures. The ...

Genetically altered mice are valuable tools in biomedical research. The Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Center, located at UC Davis and supported by a grant from NIH, has been providing a national ...

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 ...
