The main goal of the STAR project is the creation of a detailed
haplotype map for the rat. To address this goal, the STAR project
consortium conducted sequencing and genotyping of a number of rat
strains and provide public access to the data through this web page.
All of the data described here has been integrated into the Ensembl
databases and is available through the standard Enesmbl web
interfaces and the Ensembl API.
This page provides the SNPs discovered from a set of approximately 240,000 sequencing reads and the results of genotyping almost 400 rat strains at approximately 21,000 markers.
Data can be downloaded from our FTP server:
Additional data mining on the set of genotyped SNPs is provided at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at Oxford University.
The STAR project is a specific targeted research project funded by European Union through Framework Programme 6. Full details regarding the STAR project are available at http://www.snp-star.eu.
All of the data is made freely available before scientific publication with the following understanding:
