Article Abstract
The laboratory rat, Rattus norvegicus, is an important model of human health and disease, and experimental findings in the rat have relevance to human physiology and disease. The Rat Genome Database (RGD, http://rgd.mcw.edu ) is a model organism database that provides access to a wide variety of curated rat data including disease associations, phenotypes, pathways, molecular functions, biological processes and cellular components for genes, quantitative trait loci, and strains. We present an overview of the database followed by specific examples that can be used to gain experience in employing RGD to explore the wealth of functional data available for the rat.

Background: Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have enabled the collection and sharing of a massive amount of omics data, along with its associated metadata-descriptive information that contextualizes the data, including phenotypic traits and experimental design. Enhancing metadata availability is critical to ensure data reusability and reproducibility and to facilitate novel biomedical discoveries through effective data reuse. Yet, incomplete metadata accompanying public omics data may hinder reproducibility and reusability and limit secondary analyses.

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) expands treatment options for solid tumor patients and identifies hereditary cancers. However, in Japan, confirmatory tests have been conducted in only 31.6% of patients with presumed germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) detected through tumor-only testing.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain tumor with limited therapeutic options. Temozolomide (TMZ), a standard-of-care chemotherapeutic agent, exerts its cytotoxicity by alkylating DNA, which triggers a DNA damage response and depletes ATP and NAD. However, TMZ also releases the byproduct 4-amino-5-imidazole carboxamide (AIC), which is believed to be a benign metabolite.

The objective of this research was to use a network toxicology approach to examine the possible toxicity of the cigarette toxicants nicotine and coal tar that cause osteoporosis (OP) as well as its molecular processes. We determined the primary chemical structures and 128 targets of action of tar and nicotine using the Swiss Target Prediction, NP-MRD, and PubChem databases. We discovered that genes including DNAJB1, CCDC8, LINC00888, ATP6V1G1, MPV17L2, PPCS, and TACC1 had a disease prognostic guiding value by LASSO analysis and differential analysis of GEO microarray data.
