Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape and health. But sometimes, these genes mutate. And while the word itself ...
You are more like a mouse than you might think! Today, scientists are creating models of human genetic disease using mice, flies, worms, and other animals. But what do these models reveal about us?
