Abstract
Rat models have been a major model for studying complex disease mechanisms, behavioral phenotypes, environmental factors, and for drug development and discovery. Inbred rat strains control for genetic background and allow for repeated, reproducible, cellular and whole animal phenotyping. The Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel (HRDP) was designed to be a powerful panel of inbred rats with genomic, physiological, and behavioral data to serve as a resource for systems genetics. The HRDP consists of 96-98 inbred rat strains aimed to maximize power to detect specific genetic loci associated with complex traits while maximizing the genetic diversity among strains. The panel consists of 32-34 genetically diverse inbred strains and two panels of recombinant inbred panels. To establish the HRDP program, embryo resuscitation and breeding were done to establish colonies for distribution. Whole genome sequencing was performed to achieve 30X coverage. Genomic, phenotype, and strain information is available through the Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel Portal at the Rat Genome Database ( http://rgd.mcw.edu ).
期刊介绍:
Mammalian Genome focuses on the experimental, theoretical and technical aspects of genetics, genomics, epigenetics and systems biology in mouse, human and other mammalian species, with an emphasis on the relationship between genotype and phenotype, elucidation of biological and disease pathways as well as experimental aspects of interventions, therapeutics, and precision medicine. The journal aims to publish high quality original papers that present novel findings in all areas of mammalian genetic research as well as review articles on areas of topical interest. The journal will also feature commentaries and editorials to inform readers of breakthrough discoveries as well as issues of research standards, policies and ethics.
