Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) is an important model for human disease, and is extensively used for studying complex traits for example in the physiological and pharmacological fields. To facilitate genetic studies like QTL mapping, genetic makers that can be easily typed, like SNPs, are essential. RESULTS: A genome-wide set of 820 SNP assays was designed for the KASPar genotyping platform,...
