GlossaryLaboratory Mice (Lab Mice)

specially bred mice used for scientific research and experiments

Laboratory mice, also known as lab mice or research mice, are specially bred mice used in scientific research to study genetics, diseases, and the effects of various treatments. They are valuable because of their genetic similarity to humans, their short reproductive cycles, and the ability to control their environment and genetics, making them ideal for controlled experiments.
