Insights into mammalian biology from the wild house mouse Mus musculus.

eLife - 15 Apr 2015

Phifer-Rixey Megan, Nachman Michael W

Abstract excerpt

The house mouse, Mus musculus, was established in the early 1900s as one of the first genetic model organisms owing to its short generation time, comparatively large litters, ease of husbandry, and visible phenotypic variants. For these reasons and because they are mammals, house mice are well suited to serve as models for human phenotypes and disease. House mice in the wild consist of at least three distinct...
