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 ...

New research suggests mice may exhibit revival-like behaviors to help unconscious mice recover faster. Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his ...
