DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Rat Genome Database provides a core resource for rat researchers combining genetic, genomic, pathway, phenotype and strain information with a focus on disease. The goal of RGD is to provide investigators with a research platform that facilitates the elucidation of disease mechanisms by implementing standard data formats and ontologies. To meet this goal, we propose three specific aims: 1) To acquire, integrate and functionally annotate emerging genomic elements and variations along with core data to create a comprehensive genome resource. New gene models, sequence and map data and variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variants (CNVs), and splice variants will be integrated through collaborations with NCBI and Ensembl and the use of innovative data pipelines. Curators will continue to focus on functional annotation of core data using multiple ontologies. New information including chemical-gene, drug-gene interactions and their impact on biology or disease will be added. Tools will be developed for mining, analysis and visualization of new data types. Educational activities for this aim will focus on new users and new tools for existing users. 2) To create a comprehensive phenome resource including phenotype measurements and strain medical records. We will develop a phenome database and provide individual strain "medical records" to provide easy access to the richness of this information. The phenome resource will include specific educational activities focused on phenotyping protocols, breeding and the use of our new tools and strain resources. 3) To link genotypes (Aim 1) to phenotypes (Aim 2) through QTLs, molecular, cellular and physiological pathways and the disease portals. RGD will continue to curate QTL data and enhance the QTL reports to provide a navigational hub linking genotype and phenotype data. Drug and physiological pathways will be curated in addition to disease related signaling and regulatory pathways and interactive diagrams will be used to link pathways, biological processes, genomic variations and phenotype data. RGD will expand its Disease Portals to serve as integration points for genomic and phenotype data, disease model profiles, and pathway data. Educational activities will focus on tools for comparative studies between rat and human, as well as those which integrate genotype and phenotype data. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The rat has been a primary animal model used to study many complex diseases and physiological processes. The combination of available genomic resources with the biological relevance and wealth of phenotypic data that exists for the rat provides an opportunity to advance the understanding of disease processes and develop new diagnostic, preventative and treatment approaches. However, the large and often disparate data sets are difficult to gain knowledge from. The primary goal of RGD is to reduce the complex data sets, and large volume of literature into a discovery platform that provides support for researchers using the rat as a model organism in which to understand human health and disease through disease-oriented translational research.

描述（由申请人提供）：大鼠基因组数据库为大鼠研究人员提供了一个核心资源，将遗传、基因组、途径、表型和品系信息与疾病相结合。RGD的目标是为研究人员提供一个研究平台，通过实施标准数据格式和本体来促进疾病机制的阐明。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了三个具体目标：1）获取，整合和功能注释新兴的基因组元件和变异沿着核心数据，以创建一个全面的基因组资源。新的基因模型、序列和图谱数据以及单核苷酸多态性（SNP）、拷贝数变异（CNV）和剪接变异等变异将通过与NCBI和Ensembl的合作以及创新数据管道的使用进行整合。策展人将继续专注于使用多个本体对核心数据进行功能注释。新的信息，包括化学基因，药物基因相互作用及其对生物学或疾病的影响将被添加。将开发用于挖掘、分析和可视化新数据类型的工具。为此目的开展的教育活动将侧重于新用户和现有用户的新工具。2)建立一个全面的表型资源，包括表型测量和菌株医疗记录。我们将开发一个表型组数据库，并提供个体菌株的“病历”，以方便访问这些信息的丰富性。表型组资源将包括特定的教育活动，重点是表型分析方案，育种和使用我们的新工具和菌株资源。 3)通过QTL、分子、细胞和生理途径以及疾病门户将基因型（目标1）与表型（目标2）联系起来。RGD将继续管理QTL数据并增强QTL报告，以提供连接基因型和表型数据的导航中心。除了疾病相关的信号传导和调控途径外，还将策划药物和生理途径，并将使用交互式图表将途径，生物过程，基因组变异和表型数据联系起来。RGD将扩大其疾病门户网站，作为基因组和表型数据，疾病模型概况和途径数据的整合点。教育活动将侧重于大鼠和人类之间的比较研究工具，以及整合基因型和表型数据的工具。 公共卫生相关性：大鼠一直是用于研究许多复杂疾病和生理过程的主要动物模型。现有的基因组资源与生物学相关性和丰富的表型数据相结合，为大鼠提供了一个机会，以促进对疾病过程的理解，并开发新的诊断，预防和治疗方法。然而，大型且通常不同的数据集很难从中获得知识。RGD的主要目标是将复杂的数据集和大量的文献减少到一个发现平台中，为研究人员提供支持，使用大鼠作为模型生物，通过疾病导向的转化研究来了解人类健康和疾病。
