Rat Genome Database (RGD)
|
Grant:
The Rat Genome Database is funded by grant HL64541 entitled
"Rat Genome Database", awarded to Dr. Howard J Jacob, Medical
College of Wisconsin from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute
(NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The Goals:
The Rat Genome Database is a collaborative effort between leading
research institutions involved in rat genetic and genomic research.
Its goal, as stated in RFA: HL-99-013 is the establishment of
a Rat Genome Database, to collect, consolidate, and integrate
data generated from ongoing rat genetic and genomic research efforts
and make these data widely available to the scientific community.
A secondary, but critical goal is to provide curation of mapped
positions for quantitative trait loci, known mutations and other
phenotypic data.
