Do you work with rats?

We are genetically predicting behavior, gene expression and other traits in outbred rats. We call it #RATTACA because it’s like the movie GATTACA except it’s not evil. Learn more about how you can use RATTACA at our booth #3925 at #sfn25.

I’m trilled to release the largest amount of stress profiling data from our (I think any) lab so far. We asked how the molecular response to acute stress adapts as the stressor becomes chronic. Multiomic profiling in the mouse hippocampus, led by Rebecca Waag and co-last author Pierre-Luc Germain 💪
