==Why inbred strain should be the entry heading==

I recently moved linear animal to inbred strain since I think the latter is the much more widely know and used term. Check out these numbers:

Google hits:

  • 949 "linear animal"
  • 163000 "inbred strain"
  • 28 site:.edu "linear animal"
  • 11500 site:.edu "inbred strain"
  • 1 site:.ac.uk "linear animal"
  • 150 site:.ac.uk "inbred strain"

Hope you agree. Best, Jasu 12:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
