A QTL resource and comparison tool for pigs: PigQTLDB.

During the past decade, efforts to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) in pigs have resulted in hundreds of QTL being reported for growth, meat quality, reproduction, disease resistance, and other traits. It is a challenge to locate, interpret, and compare QTL results from different studies. We have developed a pig QTL database (PigQTLdb) that integrates available pig QTL data in the public domain, thus, facilitating the use of this QTL data in future studies.

Localization of the mutation responsible for osteopetrosis in the op rat to a 1.5-cM genetic interval on rat chromosome 10: identification of positional candidate genes by radiation hybrid mapping.

Osteopetrosis is caused by a heterogenous group of bone diseases that result in an increase in skeletal mass because of inadequate osteoclastic bone resorption. In the op osteopetrotic rat, the disease has been linked to a single genetic locus located at the proximal end of rat chromosome 10. In this study, we identified a 1.

Modulation of multiple experimental arthritis models by collagen-induced arthritis quantitative trait loci isolated in congenic rat lines: different effects of non-major histocompatibility complex quantitative trait loci in males and females.

Objective: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a model of inflammatory arthritis with many similarities to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We previously mapped in F(2) offspring of CIA-susceptible DA and CIA-resistant F344 rats, 5 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for which F344 alleles were associated with reduced CIA severity. In the present study, we sought to characterize the independent arthritis-modulating effects of these 5 QTLs.
