BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — When it comes to the price of mice, you pay extra for defects.
A mouse with arthritis runs close to $200; two pairs of epileptic mice can cost 10 times that. You want three blind mice? That’ll run you about $250. And for your own custom mouse, with the genetic modification of your choosing, expect to pay as much as $100,000.
ROFL, when I heard this my thought was… you’ve got to be kidding me. But after reading the article it looks like getting specific mice for testing can be hard. And the harder the type of mouse to “create” the more you have to pay. Makes sense… just crazy.
