UCSC genome browser now has mRatBN7.2 and they named it rn7!http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=rn7
We are creating the RatGTEx portal to provide gene expression and eQTL data for different rat tissues. The pilot version of this portal is available at ratgtex.org. In addition to data downloads, it has interactive visualizations that can display results for queried genes, variants, and tissues. It will specify a standard processing pipeline and data formats … Read more…

The rat and RGD are invited to join the GRC! The name mRatBN7 was selected for this reference, to maintain similarity to the other genomes being sequenced by the VGP and Tree of Life Program, while adding our request for incorporating the strain name. mRatBN7 will be picked up by Ensembl for an initial rapid … Read more…
You can find the mRatNor1.1 assembly at ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/users/kj2/Darwin. The files are: mRatNor1_1.curated_primary.20200424.facontaining the primary assembly. The scaffold names need to be translated using mRatNor1_1.chromosome.list.csvwhere the entries refer to <scaffold_name>,<chr_name>,<yes if it’s the main part of the chromosome/no if it’s an unlocalised part of the chromosome> mRatNor1_1.all_haplotigs.20200424.faContains the alternative assembly.
