2022 updates to the Rat Genome Database: a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) resource.

ABSTRACT: The Rat Genome Database (RGD, https://rgd.mcw.edu) has evolved from simply a resource for rat genetic markers, maps, and genes, by adding multiple genomic data types and extensive disease and phenotype annotations and developing tools to effectively mine, analyze, and visualize the available data, to empower investigators in their hypothesis-driven research. Leveraging its robust and flexible infrastructure, RGD has added data for human and eight other model organisms (mouse, 13-lined ground squirrel, chinchilla, naked mole-rat, dog, pig, African green monkey/vervet, and bonobo) besides rat to enhance its translational aspect. This article presents an overview of the database with the most recent additions to RGD's genome, variant, and quantitative phenotype data. We also briefly introduce
