A new £18m animal testing centre to examine the genetic make-up of mice
and humans has been opened.

The Mary Lyon Centre, at Harwell, Oxfordshire, will house 65,000 mice.

Scientists want to discover how genes contribute to disease and are
focusing their research on mice because they are genetically very
similar to humans.

One animal rights group described the centre as "a massive step in the
wrong direction", claiming the results of animal testing are often
misleading.
