In 15 articles published this month in the Genetics Society of America journals, GENETICS and G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, researchers present findings on a new resource, called the "Mouse Collaborative Cross," a population of laboratory mouse lines that together mirror the genetic diversity of humans and offers the potential of studying traits and diseases of complex origins in a model system that better reflects human genetic diversity.
