      Yes, I’ve been involved with a few. My current team is the one who found Omicron in the UK and before, when I still worked with mice, we discovered a gene involved a deterioration of part of the eye that no one knew about. That last one was quite a surprise and lead to a lot more experiments so they could work out how the gene resulted in that.
