admin The U01 replaces the UH2/UH3 so it has more flexibility and GWAS can now be performed.
“The Identification of Gene Variants for Addiction Related Traits by Next-Gen Sequencing in Model Organisms Selectively Bred for Addiction Traits (UH2/UH3)” FOA and Notice of Change are now published. Please see the links below:

NIH study in rodents identifies a pathway that starts with glutamate and ends with activation of dopamine reward system Details of the role of glutamate, the brain’s excitatory chemical, in a drug reward pathway have been identified for the first time. This discovery in rodents — published today in Nature Communications — shows that stimulation … Read more…
Seven pilot project grant proposals for research projects connected to the NIDA Center for GWAS in Rats were submitted in response to the initial call for submissions. They span a wide range of research disciplines from fruit fly genetics to bioinformatics, each is intended to enhance the impact of the center. The principal investigator of … Read more…
ENSEMBL, a joint scientific project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, will be organizing a workshop on rat genomics and models on December 4 and 5, 2014. ENSEMBL have just released the first set of golden genes in rat, i.e. the merge between the Ensembl automatic and the Havana manual … Read more…
