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 ...

Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Persistent Ductus Arteriosus in the Brown-Norway Inbred Rat Strain [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2006
Persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common cardiovascular anomaly in children caused by the pathologic persistence of the left sixth pharyngeal arch artery. The inbred Brown-Norway (BN) rat presents with increased vascular fragility due to an aortic elastin deficit resulting from decreased elastin synthesis. The strikingly high prevalence of PDA in

Guideline for the In Vivo Immunomodulatory Activity Test of Polysaccharide Based on Cyclophosphamide‐Induced Mouse Model

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Abstract graph of the in vivo immunomodulatory activity of polysaccharide based on a cyclophosphamide‐induced mouse model. ABSTRACT The immune system serves as the primary defense mechanism against pathogens and plays a vital role in maintaining host homeostasis. In recent years, natural polysaccharides have emerged as promising immunomodulators due to

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 ...

Signalling mechanisms of long term facilitation of breathing with intermittent hypoxia. [PDF]

, 2013
Intermittent hypoxia causes long-term facilitation (LTF) of respiratory motor nerve activity and ventilation, which manifests as a persistent increase over the normoxic baseline for an hour or more after the acute hypoxic ventilatory response.

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

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.

A study of some aspects of growth and reproduction in two inbred lines of mice and their crosses : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Massey University of Manawatu [PDF]

, 1964
The mating of closely related individuals is generally believed to result in inferior offspring. Recognition of this danger has been suggested as the reason for evolution of human social customs.

Neuroimaging Evidence of Major Morpho-Anatomical and Functional Abnormalities in the BTBR T+TF/J Mouse Model of Autism [PDF]

, 2013
BTBR T+tf/J (BTBR) mice display prominent behavioural deficits analogous to the defining symptoms of autism, a feature that has prompted a widespread use of the model in preclinical autism research.
