Gene Affected
Origin One male rat "SRR-Rocket Science" was introduced from American fancy rat colony (Spoiled Ratten Rattery: SRR, in Kansas City, Missouri) to Kyoto University on July 13, 2005. Inbreeding started from F1 progeny of male "SRR-Rocket Science" and a female PVG/Seac. Homozygous rats for grey mutation were selected for inbreeding. (Sep 25, 2009)
Strain characteristics This strain carries two mutations grey (g) which causes light grey body color and Pearl (Pel) which causes hair lighter coat color and is lethal in the embryonic period if homozygous. Genetic analyses mapped g to Chr 8 (Kuramoto, 2010). (May 26, 2010)
Breeding Conditions Maintained by crossing of heterozygous and wild-type for Pearl mutation. This strain is heterozygous for Pearl (segregating strain) and homozygous for grey. Good breeding performance. (Sep 25, 2009)
