Welcome to the Rabbit Genome Resources guide. The rabbit was selected by the National Human Genome Research Institute for whole genome sequencing to enhance our understanding of the functional and structural elements of the human genome and to markedly increase the rabbit's experimental value as an animal model for human disease. This homepage provides information on rabbit and rabbit-related resources from NCBI and the research community. We welcome your suggestions.

The rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is widely used as a model for human disease because of its size, physiological attributes, and similar disease characteristics. The rabbit is also a popular dietary source of protein in many parts of the world.

Recent News...
OryCun2.0 Statistics Update: The Broad Institute has refined the coverage statistics of the OryCun2.0 genome assembly. Based on sequence reads of Q20 and greater, the coverage has been updated to 6.51X.
Map Viewer Update! NCBI's annotation of OryCun2.0, a 7.48X coverage of the European rabbit genome provided by the Broad Institute, is now available in Map Viewer. You can browse the genome, search using gene symbols or names, or BLAST a sequence against the assembly.
Please note that all rabbits of the Thorbecke partially inbred strain used for the rabbit genome sequence were lost unfortunately in a fire at Covance soon after the BROAD Institute selected the animal for sequencing.
