Novel wild-derived mouse models of obesity and diabetes resistance

Novel inbred mouse strains have been developed from wild-caught mice, and they display enhanced genetic diversity compared to the commonly used strains. We hypothesized that their unique genotypes may yield aspects of disease susceptibility previously unobserved in the commonly used strains. We exam...
