> Believe it or not, when the Jackson Lab was born in 1929, many researchers didn't believe it was possible to study genetics in mammals, assuming inbreeding in mammals was impossible. A lot has changed in biology and genetics since then, and there are now more mice living at the Jackson Lab than people living in the state of Maine.
