Rat Genome Resources
The laboratory rat is an indispensable tool in experimental medicine and drug development due to an extensive knowledge of rat physiology and availability of many disease models. Rat is used extensively as a model organism for studying human normal and disease processes and for testing drug efficacy and toxicity prior to human clinical trials. This site brings together information about rat data available at NCBI and other related resources from the research community, including sequence, mapping, and clone information.
We welcome your suggestions.
