Webinar #16 - Introduction to the Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel

Webinar #16 - Introduction to the Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel: A renewable rat panel for genetic studies of addiction-related traits.
Goals of this webinar:
The Hybrid Rat Diversity Panel (HRDP) is an inbred panel of rats that included two recombinant inbred panels and a panel of classic inbred strains.
To describe hybrid diversity panels, in particular, the HRDP, including advantages and disadvantages when studying the role of genetics in substance use disorders, e.g., renewable genomes and the accumulation of behavioral and physiological phenotypes and high throughput omics data.
To outline current resources and resources that are being generated.
To demonstrate the utility of a renewable genetically diverse rodent population when exploring the interaction between genetics, drug exposure, and behavior.
