Genomic resources for the rat are increasing at an astounding pace. The rat has been important for physiology resources.
This page is a gateway to rat resources insice and outside NCBI.

Rats are a useful model for human physiology.

Just In...

 - Rat genome is published.


 - Comparative maps between rat, human and mouse available in Map Viewer.
  ** see rat chr4 along with human segments as an example **

 - RH map.3.4 map was added to the Map Viewer as "MCW RH" map.

 - NCBI build 2 released!
It includes the RGSC v3.1 assembly as a reference assembly. See it in Map Viewer. For more information, see release notes.

  ** see chr4 of RGSC v3.1 assembly as an example**

 - Curated finished contigs released! Contigs based only on finished sequences are released as NCBI NT assemblyn a part of NCBI Build 2. See it in Map Viewer.
  ** see chr4 of NCBI NT assembly as an example**
