Welcome to the Rabbit Genome Resources guide. The rabbit was selected by the National Human Genome Research Institute for whole genome sequencing to enhance our understanding of the functional and structural elements of the human genome and to markedly increase the rabbit's experimental value as an animal model for human disease. This homepage provides information on rabbit and rabbit-related resources from NCBI and the research community. We welcome your suggestions.

The rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is widely used as a model for human disease because of its size, physiological attributes, and similar disease characteristics. The rabbit is also a popular dietary source of protein in many parts of the world.



Of recent note...
