>Some mouse lines have been inbred for 100 years, and are quite healthy.

I'm curious, Pete, how large a breeding population is typically maintained
for such lines?

My understanding is that with inbred lines of mice and fruit flies that
mutants are sometimes observed, and sometimes then used to create new
lines.  Do you have any info on how frequently such mutants occur (one
every how many generations)?
