The Laboratory Mouse Monument is a monument in Novosibirsk's Akademgorodok, located in a park near the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (ICG) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The monument was unveiled on July 1, 2013, to coincide with Novosibirsk's 120th anniversary. According to the institute's director, Academician Nikolai Kolchanov, the monument symbolizes gratitude to the animal for the opportunity humanity has to use mice to study animal genes, the molecular and physical mechanisms of diseases, and the development of new drugs.The Laboratory Mouse Monument is a monument in Novosibirsk's Akademgorodok, located in a park near the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (ICG) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The helix emerging from the mouse spokes is left-handed (the so-called Z-form), while the main forms of DNA are right-handed.

The model isn't very easy to print. It requires a lot of supports. The DNA strand is particularly challenging. Be careful when removing the supports; DNA is easily broken. And we don't need any unnecessary mutations ;)
Advice from the author of the original model: “The DNA strand rungs were designed such that they are perfectly horizontal so that they could be bridged without needing individual support. I used the support paint feature in my slicer when I printed it to manually specify what to support and was pretty happy with the outcome.”
