The rat is one of the most important model organisms for biomedical and pharmacological research. However, generation novel models studying specific aspects human diseases largely depends on selection traits using existing strains, thereby solely depending naturally occurring variation. This study aims to provide tools manipulate genome in a more directed way.We developed robust, automated, scaleable reverse genetic methodology based ENU (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea)-driven target-selected...
Impaired decision-making is a core problem in several psychiatric disorders including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive mania, drug addiction, eating disorders, and substance abuse as well chronic pain. To ensure progress the understanding of neuropathophysiology these animals models with good construct predictive validity are indispensable. Many human studies aimed at measuring capacities use Iowa Gambling Task, task designed to model every-day...
Rats were the first mammalian species domesticated for scientific purposes, and they soon became most widely used animal model in biomedical sciences, including cardiovascular research behavioral neuroscience. Yet, after development of technologies to manipulate genes, researchers largely shifted use mice. However, as we lay out with examples from drug addiction, social behavior, research, rats have experimental advantages over With introduction zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN), transcription...
