I'm with you, Kathleen: my dissertation was on the word "the." We're not boring; we're exotic!

Subject: Re: Hyphen or no?
I'd say no hyphen.
The case might be different if "well defined" were functioning as f a modifier before a noun, but that is not the situation here.
I once wrote a paper with a computer scientist on hyphenation of compound modifiers. Okay, I officially have the world's most boring life.

Here's a question from my daughter the neophyte healthcare lawyer. I guess they have to talk about mice.
Should there be a hyphen or not here?
Mice are used for this work because they are genetically well-defined.
