January 12, 2005: RGD was recently published in Nucleic Acids Research
The RGD was published in Nucleic Acids Research with a title of "The Rat Genome Database (RGD): developments towards a phenome database". View this article.
September 9th-12th, 2004: RGD will be at the XVth International
Workshop on Genetic Systems in the Rat.
Copenhagen, Denmark on 9th-12th Sept 2004
to be held at the Scandic Copenhagen Hotel. View the meeting's website here.
July 27-28, 2004: PhysGen Workshop-The Consomic Rat Phenome Project
March 21-25, 2004:
RGD have a
booth at the Society of Toxicology 43rd Annual Meeting,
Baltimore.
December 28, 2003:
RGD released a new web site with many enhanced navigation
features, visit the new RGD
now.
August 5-6, 2003: Workshop
in Physiological Genomics of Consomic Rats
The focus of this workshop is to provide an overview of our
physiological genomics approach for analyzing rat genetic,
genomic, and physiological data. The goal is to provide investigators
with a toolset of data, bioinformatic tools, and background
to be able to utilize the consomic animals generated by PhysGen
for their own studies in heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders.
Program consists of both seminars and hands-on training on
how to use the PhysGen resources.
Deadline is approaching. Please register
by July 10, 2003.

May 26 - June 7, 2003:
The West African Biotechnology
Workshops (WABW) and University of
Ibandan, Nigeria, has invited Charles Wang,
Ph.D. scientist of the Bioinformatics Program to present a
seminar on " Rat Genome Database - Mapping Diseases onto
the Genome", and to serve as a faculty member at the
West African Bioinformatics Training Courses at University
of Ibandan, Ibanada, Nigeria, May 26 - June 7, 2003.
Charles will teach in several lectures on sequence analysis
and data mining on Bioinformatics. WABW aims to foster necessary
interactions between and among relevant local scientists and
their international counterparts for education, training and
developments in the emerging fields of biotechnology and bioinformatics.
May 19, 2003: Bioinformatics
Program Event Day.
Bioinformatics Program will hold an Event Day at 12:30 to
4:30 PM on Monday, May 19, in the MCW Alumni Center. This
special event is being held to showcase some of the Bioinformatics
Program's most important and successful projects. You will
gain insight into Bioinformatics, learn how Bioinformatics
Program can add value to biomedical research and hear Bioinformatics
success stories. Click for more

March 17-20, 2003: Peter
Tonellato, Director of the Bioinformatics Research Center
and Mary Shimoyama, Data Development and Management Group
Manager took part in the H-Invitational Disease Edition strategy
meeting March 17 – 20 in Odaiba, Japan. Building on
the success of the human full-length cDNA annotation Jamboree
held in August 2002, the Disease Edition will focus on annotating
cDNAs for disease relationships and creating a disease gene
catalogue. As members of the planning committee, Dr. Tonellato
and Ms. Shimoyama are lending expertise and experience gained
from the Rat Genome Database’s Disease Oriented Research
Resource Project. The H-Invitational Disease Edition will
include cross-species analyses that will enhance the data
provided through the disease portals planned for the DORR
project. Because of the bioinformatics expertise and experience
in disease gene annotation, Dr. Tonellato, Mary Shimoyama
and other Bioinformatics Program members will spearhead a
number of core efforts for the H-Invitational Disease Edition
Jamboree planned for August 2003.
March 12, 2003: RGD releases
The Pied Piper, the newsletter for
the Rat community.
March 3, 2003: Annotations of Genes, EST's
and SSLP's are now available: Announcing a new Annotated Rat
Genome release at Ensembl.
V11.21 is built around Version 2 of the assembly from the
Rat Genome Sequencing Consortium and has 21,276 genes containing
28,904 transcripts.Links from Ensembl to the RGD markers used
in the annotation are provided. In addition, new comparative
data for rat is provided as well as mapping of eight Affymetrix
chipsets across human, mouse and rat genes.
January 18, 2003. RGD New VCMap Version
2.0 is released: This new VCMap
Version 2.0 has updated datasets for various markers
in addition to a new and versatile interactive feature. Users
can now generate dynamic maps from MapView (Dynamic) option
to define and manipulate the comparative map displays.
