	Gene Report Pages Tutorial RGD’s new gene report pages are an even faster way of learning valuable information on genes, QTLs, markers, and strains. This informative video will show you each area of the report page, as well as how to view a gene and its annotations.
	Physiological Pathway Diagrams Tutorial Are you looking for a more intuitive way to visualize system-level pathway information? RGD's video tutorial about the Physiological Pathway diagrams will help you navigate these interactive diagrams for use as either a research or study tool.
	Introduction to Biomedical Ontologies #4: Ontology Term Enrichment Using RatMine You've done your experiments and you have a list of genes that might be of interest, but…what now? Often the next step is "ontology term enrichment analysis". This video provides an overview of what enrichment analysis is and how you can use the "widgets" in RatMine to quickly and easily extract enrichment data for your list of genes or proteins. Click the icon to learn more.
	Introduction to the RGD Phenotypes and Models Portal In addition to genomic and genetic data, RGD is an excellent source of information about rat strains and their associated physiology, phenotypes and diseases. This video will demonstrate how to navigate through the sections of RGD's Phenotypes and Models portal, so you can easily access the information you need. Click the icon to get started.
	An Introduction to the RatMine Database RatMine is RGD's newest data warehousing, mining and analysis tool. Click this icon to take a quick tour of RatMine's key features and learn how to use RatMine's Templates and Lists to find disease genes and common pathways, display protein-protein interactions and more.
	Introduction to Biomedical Ontologies #3: Anatomy of an Ontology Annotation, part 2 Are you missing the added value that you could be getting from ontology annotations? You know what ontologies are—maybe you've even used them on occasion. But if the only part of an ontology annotation that you pay attention to is the term itself, you could be skipping over valuable information that the other components of annotations supply. Click this icon to find out what that "valuable information" is.
	Introduction to Biomedical Ontologies #2: Anatomy of an Ontology Annotation, part 1 You've heard that using ontology annotations can save you time and effort. Is it true? And where do those "annotations" come from anyway? How do you know whether you can trust them or not? Click this icon to start learning about the ontology annotations themselves--what they are, where they come from and how you can tell at a glance what kind of evidence they're based on.
	Introduction to Biomedical Ontologies #1: What is an Ontology? While reading an article or looking at a website, have you ever seen the term “ontology” and wondered what that meant? Do you hear people talking about using ontologies and ask yourself what the hubbub is about? This video is designed to help answer those questions. Click this icon for a beginner’s look at what an ontology is and why ontologies are an important tool in the scientist’s toolbox.
	Intro to GBrowse #1: Getting Started with GBrowse You keep hearing people talk about "Genome Browsers" but you've never used one and you're not quite sure where to start. Click this icon for a quick look at how to get started with GBrowse, RGD’s Rat Genome Browser.
	Finding Polymorphic Rat SNPs Using RGD's SNPlotyper Tool Click this icon to access a short video tutorial demonstrating how to use the prototype of RGD's updated SNPlotyper tool to identify polymorphic markers between rat strains.
	When it Comes to the Rat Genome, Bigger is Better RGD's GViewer is an interactive tool which allows users to view genomic features such as genes and QTLs in the context of the entire genome. Click this icon to access a short video tutorial on how to get started with the GViewer.
	It's Easy to Get Lost on the Biological Superhighway. Thankfully, we Brought a Map. Biological pathways are complex networks made up of a wide variety of components interacting in many different ways. Click this icon to access a short video tutorial which demonstrates how RGD’s Interactive Pathway Diagrams can help you explore and understand these important intermolecular networks.
	Some Prefer Blue Jeans...RGD Prefers Disease Genes RGD's Disease Portals consolidate data for each of a variety of disease areas, including Neurological Diseases, Cardivascular Diseases, Obesity/Metabolic Syndrome and Urogenital/Breast Cancer, into one integrated unit. Click this icon to view a brief video detailing how you can use these portals to explore data related to these important areas of research.

Zinc Finger Nucleases for Targeted Mutation of the Rat Genome

This pair of videos introduces the technology behind site-specific mutagenesis using Zinc Finger Nucleases. It's now possible to mutate, knock out or knock in rat genes in a specific, and heritable, way.

Sleeping Beauty Invades Rat's Genome

This video gives a brief overview of the technique of introducing germline mutations into the rat genome using Sleeping Beauty transposons. In addition, information is given about the availability of rat knockout strains and of detailed phenotype data for those strains.
