Historically, researchers have generated their own lines of knockout mice to serve as models for human disease, such as heart disease or cancer. (genome.gov)
No doubt, knowledge of the mouse genome will help scientists design more effective mouse models for human disease and disorder. (sciencemediacentre.org)
The emphasis is on developing intellectual abilities and research skills through investigations of infectious diseases of food - producing, companion, and aquatic animals, as well as animal models for human disease. (lsu.edu)
