A '''Mouse model''' is a laboratory mouse useful for medical research because it has specific characteristics that resemble a human disease or disorder. Strains of mice having natural mutations similar to human ones may serve as models of such conditions. Scientists can also create mouse models by transferring new [[gene]]s into mice or by inactivating certain existing genes in them.
