Powerful clues have been discovered about why the human immune system, metabolism, stress response, and other life functions are so different from those of the mouse. A new, comprehensive study of the mouse genome by an international group of researchers including Penn State University scientists -- published on 20 November 2014 in the print edition of the journal Nature -- reveals striking similarities and differences with the human genome. The study may lead to better use of mouse models in medical research.
