Program for Genomic Applications:
Consomic Rat Developments
PhysGen Program is one of eleven projects supported by the National
Heart Lung and Blood Institute, NIH, under its Program for Genomic
Applications. The PhysGen Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin
announced on April 5, 2002, that 72,595 physiological measurements
and images have been released to the public with version 4 of the
database.
The dissemination of PhysGen data, animals and bioinformatics resources
to investigators is providing a valuable new tool to increase understanding
of the genetic basis of fundamental mechanistic pathways of the
heart, lung, kidney, blood and vasculature. More information about
these consomic rats as well as all the phenotypic data can be found
at the following URL: http://pga.mcw.edu/
