Glossary Wild-Type Mice

laboratory mice with natural, unaltered genetic makeup

Wild-Type Mice, often abbreviated as WT mice, are laboratory mice that have not been genetically modified and possess the natural, unaltered genetic makeup of their species. They serve as a standard or control group in experiments to compare against genetically altered mice, helping researchers understand the effects of specific genetic changes.
