''… '''Greider … observed''' more than 20 years ago that telomeres in some inbred mouse strains are significantly longer than they are in some wild species. The data indicated that '''telomere length isn’t a major factor in determining how long the mice live'''. But '''some researchers''' inferred that inbred laboratory strains, because of their controlled breeding regimens and other factors, had '''developed longer telomeres''' over time. If true, that inference had the potential to skew cancer and aging research data and the quality of the drugs and therapies ultimately produced based on mouse experiments.'' | ''… '''Greider … observed''' more than 20 years ago that telomeres in some inbred mouse strains are significantly longer than they are in some wild species.
