Complete brown rat genome could reshape disease research
Key Takeaways
- Researchers assembled the most complete brown rat genome to date from telomere to telomere.
- The reference adds more than 60 newly resolved genes, many linked to immunity and other biological functions.
- The study found rat sex chromosomes pair differently from the human pattern, refining how the species should be used as a disease model.
