Anxiety and fear are evolutionarily conserved emotions that increase the likelihood of an
organism surviving threatening situations. Anxiety and vigilance states are regulated by …

Abstract The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project has been
established to develop a public resource of genetic regulatory variants in livestock, which is …

The amygdala processes positive and negative valence and contributes to addiction, but the
cell-type-specific gene regulatory programs involved are unknown. We generated an atlas of …

Transcriptional regulation in response to diverse physiological cues involves complicated
biological processes. Recent initiatives that leverage whole genome sequencing and …

A vexing observation in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is that parallel analyses
in different species may not identify orthologous genes. Here, we demonstrate that cross …

The seventh iteration of the reference genome assembly for Rattus norvegicus—mRatBN7.
2—corrects numerous misplaced segments and reduces base-level errors by approximately …

Copper is one of a handful of biologically necessary heavy metals that is also a common
environmental pollutant. Under normal conditions, copper ions are required for many key …

Background We have generated a rat model similar to the Four Core Genotypes mouse
model, allowing comparison of XX and XY rats with the same type of gonad. The model …

Abstract The Rat Genome Database (RGD) is a multispecies knowledgebase which
integrates genetic, multiomic, phenotypic, and disease data across 10 mammalian species …

Brain transcriptional variation is a heritable trait that mediates complex behaviors, including
addiction. Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) map** reveals genomic regions …
