Use of animals in medical research:
1. Basic research: 
Basic or pure research is usually
academic in origin and investigates how organisms
behave, develop, and function. Scientists use larger
numbers and a greater variety of animals here than
that of in applied research. Fruit flies, nematode worms,
mice and rats together account for the vast majority,
though small numbers of other species are used,
ranging from sea slugs through to armadillos

.
Examples of the types of animals and experiments used
in basic research include the following:

Studies on embryogenesis and developmental biology:
Mutants are created by adding transposons into their
genomes, or specific genes are deleted by gene
targeting
10,11
. By studying the changes in
development these changes produce, scientists aim
to understand both how organisms normally develop,
and what can go wrong in this process. These studies
are particularly powerful since the basic controls of
development, such as the homeobox genes, have
similar functions in organisms as diverse as fruit flies
and human
12,13
.

Experiments into behaviour: These experiments are
done to understand how organisms detect and interact
with each other and their environment, in which fruit
flies, worms, mice, and rats are all widely used
14,15
.
Studies of brain function, such as memory and social
behaviour, often use rats and birds
16,17
.

Breeding experiments to study evolution and genetics:
Laboratory mice, flies, fish, and worms are inbred
through many generations to create strains with
defined characteristics
18
. These provide animals of a
known genetic background, an important tool for
genetic analyses. Larger mammals are rarely bred
specifically for such studies due to their slow rate of
reproduction, though some scientists take advantage
of inbred domesticated animals, such as dog or cattle
breeds, for comparative purposes
