Adapting Genotyping-by-Sequencing and Variant Calling for Heterogeneous Stock Rats

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The heterogeneous stock (HS) is an outbred rat population derived from eight inbred rat strains. HS rats are ideally suited for genome wide association studies; however, only a few genotyping microarrays have ever been designed for rats and none of them ...

Congenital short bowel syndrome: Clinical aspects by systematic review

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Congenital short bowel syndrome (CSBS) is a rare intestinal disorder characterized by inborn shortening of the bowel with mainly mutations in Coxsackie and Adenovirus receptor‐like membrane protein (CLMP) and Filamin A (FLNA) genes.

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Derivation of a germline competent transgenic Fischer 344 embryonic stem cell line. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Embryonic stem (ES) cell-based gene manipulation is an effective method for the generation of mutant animal models in mice and rats. Availability of germline-competent ES cell lines from inbred rat strains would allow for creation of new genetically ...

Identifying resistance‐conferring cytochrome P450s in weeds: experimental strategies and practical considerations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Identifying resistance‐conferring cytochrome P450s requires integrating weed characterization, gene discovery and functional validation. No single approach is sufficient to distinguish causal resistance genes from herbicide‐metabolizing enzymes. Abstract Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play a pivotal role in metabolic herbicide resistance, yet ...

Genetical genomic determinants of alcohol consumption in rats and humans

BMC Biology, 2009
Background We have used a genetical genomic approach, in conjunction with phenotypic analysis of alcohol consumption, to identify candidate genes that predispose to varying levels of alcohol intake by HXB/BXH recombinant inbred rat strains.

Natural Polysaccharides for Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy: Mechanism, Drug Delivery and Clinical Application

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the experimental models, therapeutic mechanisms, drug delivery systems, and clinical potential of natural polysaccharides in rheumatoid arthritis. ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized primarily by chronic synovitis.

Experimental Extracorporeal Circulation System: A Pilot Study in Rats

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A miniature extracorporeal circulation (ECC) system was developed for reproducible rodent studies. This system incorporates an integrated heat exchanger and a silicone membrane oxygenator within a double‐lumen circuit, resulting in an ultralow priming volume of < 1.5 mL.

Fischer 344 and Lewis rat strains as a model of genetic vulnerability to drug addiction

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Today it is well acknowledged that both nature and nurture play important roles in the genesis of psychopathologies, including drug addiction. Increasing evidence suggests that genetic factors contribute for at least 40-60 % of the variation in liability

Do Habitat Restoration Efforts and the Associated Releases of Hatchery‐Reared Fish Affect the Genetic Diversity and Integrity of Native Brown Trout Populations?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Habitat restoration may protect brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations from loss of genetic diversity by increasing environmental carrying capacity and, consequently, population size. However, the accompanying release of hatchery‐reared fish may threaten the genetic integrity of native populations through introgression.
