The rat was backcrossed in WKY strains 13 times and then maintained by sib mating (N13F15). Strain characteristics ETR develops turning behavior at 4-5 weeks of age. External stimuli such as noise and shaking can induce chasing his own tails. Breeding Conditions normal breeding performance Genotyping References Yamazaki K, Mikami T, Kawaguchi A, Kuwabara M, Nozaki Y, Hosokawa S, Tagaya O, Katoh H, Yamamoto N, Wakabayashi T.
