Hi everyone,
The lab I've joined has done extensive behavioural research using the Long-Evans rats, and I'm interested into moving this into genetics. However, I can't find much that has been done on the genetics of this population, e.g. how much variation exists, are there any regions known to be homogeneous throughout the population etc? I have some ideas for going forward with this, but wanted to check I wasn't going to be replicated work that already existed in the literature somewhere.
I know data exists for offshoot strains (e.g. the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat), but have been unable to find anything in the founder population.
Thank you,
