Less Info

Mutant mouse (DBA/1LacJ) This is a newly discovered spontaneous mutant found in the twice monthly mutant search conducted by Hope Sweet. It is possibly a genetically caused mutation that will be bred to see if its skin/hair anomalies can be reproduced.

The Jackson Laboratory breeds genetically specific mice and ships over two million mice per year to medical research laboratories around the world. This enables scientists in different parts of the world to test and duplicate experiments on genetically identical specimens. The mice are bred for naturally occurring mutations that mimic human maladies. Mice are the best genetic model for medical studies because they are so well known genetically, even better than humans.
