Dawnalyn Boggess holding mouse from her lab of mutants, to which she has become allergic. Prolonged exposure to mice has forced her to wear an air filter when entering the mouse room.

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.
