摘要
The genetic study of rats and mice using natural variants, natural mutations, chemical or radiation induced mutations, engineered mutations and conditional engineered mutations has provided the tools for investigating the genetics of disease. The completion of the mouse genomic sequence and progress towards sequencing the rat genome in the past year will enable the molecular identification of quantitative trait loci and induced mutations. Sequence-based single nucleotide polymorphism discovery and a greater understanding of the haplotype structure of inbred strains is revitalising quantitative trait locus mapping and there are now-plans for an ambitious eight-way recombinant inbred cross and renewed interest in existing resources such as heterogeneous stocks. In the past year there have been refinements to ENU mutagenesis approaches including balancer chromosomes and a new gene-driven approach.
