Overview • Different Types of Rat data sets • Rat Genome Database • Disease Portals • Comparative Genomics • Building interactive physiological genomic databases
Genomic/Genetic Datasets for the Rat • Genomic sequence 6.8X + 1.5X in July, ~600,000 ESTs, 6500 flcDNA • 10,000 genetic markers • 4 Bacterial Artificial Chromosome libraries, 2 Yeast Artificial Chromosome libraries • SNP discovery and maps under construction. ~1.5M SNPs. SNP chips being developed • Microarray chips • 100,000+ siRNA probes • 726 strains (plus 300+ genetically modified) • KOs possible via ENU and gene screening • Cloning possible • 1029 Quantitative Trait Loci or biological phenotypes assigned to the rat genome • Disease, Phenotype and Gene Ontologies • Direct translation to human and mouse via comparative genomics • 1,203,236 publications in Pubmed
Rat Genome Database Developed to support the NIH Rat Genome Project Provides genomics/genetic and phenotyping data http://rgd.mcw.edu
Rat Genome Database Provides genomics data and is being developed into a phenome database Problem: Most Investigators interested in translational research will not know how to find these data Solution: Development of Disease Portals
Comparative Genomics Brings together investigators interested in the same disease but who study different models or clinical samples

Use of Microarrays to identify Differentially Expressed Genes in Consomic Rats Differential gene expression in response to high salt diet Dahl S • Low salt • 16 hours • 3 days • 14 days UniGene microarray Consomic SS.BN13 Liang et al. Physio Gen., 2002.
Summary • Rat Genetics and Genomics enable translation between different species. • Extensive resources that require integration • Rat Bioinformatics continues to improve • Rat biology is a driver • Need to enable hypothesis testing from online data • Need to continue to capture data without extensive data curation—a major issue
