"As transgenic mouse core laboratories know well, mouse models are a powerful means of determining the function of mammalian genes in the context of whole organisms—especially since over 95% of the mouse genome is similar to the human genome. However, you may not know that: 1. Laboratory mouse strains are descended from ancestors in modern-day Pakistan. 2. The first inbred strain of lab mouse was created in 1909. It was named DBA for its coat color: dilute brown non-agouti. 3. There is a mutant mouse actually named“Bad Hair Day” (Bhrd). Someone get this little guy a stylist! 4. Male mice, when treated with anticancer drugs, have been shown to pass on DNA instability to their offspring. 5. The founder of Jackson Laboratories, C. C. Little, once had lunch with Walt Disney to request that an animated film be created linking Mickey Mouse and the laboratory mouse. The request was denied."
