why mouse? mouse models have been used to understand the functions
of the orthologous human genes extensively. clinical investigations
of genes that are related to various diseases have been facilitated
using transgenic mice, such as studies on cystic fibrosis,
myotony dystrophy, obesity, diabetes mellitus. the recent publication
on Science 296:1661, "a comparison of whole-genome shotgun-
derived mouse chromosome 16 and the human genome", has highlighen
