As before, the three mice, singing French cabaret songs and a bit of Dino, serenade each section of the movie.
However, three weeks later the mutant mice began drinking approximately three times more alcohol than the normal mice.
To make their SIDS model they tweaked this switch so that it came on when the mice were three weeks old (mice are born prematurely, relative to people, so that corresponds roughly with the moment of human birth) and then looked to see what would happen.
Researchers then transferred samples from the guts of the three groups of mice into other germ-free mice.

The authors said they were not sure why it took the mutant mice three weeks to react to their stressful experiences by drinking more.
In the latest study, researchers compared three groups of obese mice on a high-calorie diet.

But Dr Craig Venter, the president of Celera, said in a newspaper interview on Friday that his company had already sequenced the genomes of three different strains of mice, two of them to 90% completion, and was perplexed by the new public initiative.
Mice from all three groups lost weight when they exercised, and their cholesterol levels lowered.
The levels remained the same among the elderly mice in all three groups.
One involved an attack by an unfamiliar mouse and the other required the mice to swim on three consecutive days.
Mice given the drug every three days from birth suffered far less age-related body-wasting than those which were not.

One of the investigating hack-pack may yet find a headless chicken with Mr Robinson's teeth in it, but three weeks of investigation have produced only mice.
Three months after the tests, the normal mice were still drinking the original amount.

Dr Garner and his team let each of their mice, 36 males and as many females from three strains commonly used in trials, roam free in two cages connected by a narrow tube.
Some of the research in mice indicates that the master clock typically adjusts to a new time zone after around three days.
This BMC Infectious Diseases paper cited by Wolf showed that mice instilled with various vaginal gels containing microbicide experienced greater herpes simplex-2 infections when challenged three days later.
The team carried out a preliminary genetic analysis of the backcross mice, and showed that the propensity to dig long burrows is actually due to changes in three genetic regions, with a fourth region controlling the escape route behaviour.
