Genetic Code of a Mouse According to scientists by finding the genetic code of mice will one-day help scientists better understand the function of human genes. If the scientist find the genetic code of a mice they will be able to develop enhanced disease treatments. The National Institutes of Health and three private companies launched a $58 million program that will provide a free public database that would map the entire mouse genome. The gene sequence …showed first 75 words of 205 total…

…showed last 75 words of 205 total…genomes will help to detect, diagnose and treat a large range of diseases. That includes any type of cancer and Alzheimer's. Another reason why scientists want to decode a mouse's genetic code is because a human and mouse have the same organic development. They say that they will have decoded the code within the next six months. Only after that they will know if they will be able to detect and diagnose diseases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
