"As mammals with physical systems somewhat like our own, they give us a relatively quick, inexpensive way of getting at the causes of disease and possible therapies," says Dr. Kenneth Paigen, director of the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, the world's most famous mouse-breeding facility. Each year the lab ships out some 2 million mice from more than 1,700 stocks, including so-called designer mice with genes added or deleted so that they more closely "model" human disease.
