Diversity Outbred Mice Better Predict Potential Human Responses to Chemical Exposures

by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
A genetically diverse mouse model is able to predict the range of response to chemical exposures that might be observed in human populations, researchers from the National Institutes of Health have found. Like humans, each Diversity Outbred mouse is genetically unique, and the extent of genetic variability among these mice is similar to the genetic variation seen among humans.
