Abstract
In order to best assess the genetic risks to humans of environmental factors, investigations of their effects in mammalian systems will be necessary. For the forseeable future most such studies will be conducted on laboratory animals, and in particular, because of the large body of existing information on its biology and genetics, the laboratory mouse.
