The Rat Strain Ontology (RS) is currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about this vocabulary or to request additions or changes, please contact us (https://rgd.mcw.edu/rgdweb/contact/contactus.html).
This congenic strain was developed by intercross breeding using diabetic prone (DP) and diabetic resistant (DR) BB rats. This diabetes susceptible congenic rat strain has the DP genome background carrying the transferred genome fragment from DR rats. This congenic rat carries Gimap4 and Gimap5 from DR rats.
