Researchers in France have successfully cloned rats, overcoming a quirk in the rodent’s physiology to produce genetic duplicates for use in medical research. LED BY RESEARCHERS at the National ...

The rat is commonly employed in otological research, but spontaneous ear infections can confound the results of experimental procedures—wasting time, money, and animals. The authors focus on the ...

Scientists have published nearly the entire genome of the common rat, making it possible to compare it to the genetic maps of people and mice. That ability is expected to yield clues into evolution ...

How do we perceive music and sounds? This question is the basis of the research by the Language and Comparative Cognition Group (LCC) of the UPF Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC) published recently ...
