In 1909, while still an undergraduate at Harvard University, Clarence Cook Little started to develop the first inbred strain of laboratory mouse. In the January edition of New Scientist magazine, writer Sharon Oosthoek relates how Little, who would found The Jackson Laboratory in 1929, revolutionized the progress of biomedical research for the last 100 years. The article is available to New Scientist subscribers online and is also on the ABC news website.
