The Rat Genome Database (also known as RGD) is a collection of genetic and genomic information on the rat. Development and maintenance of RGD is funded by the United States National Institutes of Health and hosted at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The rat is a major model organism for the study of human disease, which has prompted the development of a "Disease Portal" in association with RGD. The Bioinformatics Research Center was originally founded by Dr Peter Tonellato. A number of other significant projects have spawned globally from this project and lead to global collaboration across multiple countries. One such tool of significance is Gbrowse by Lincoln Stein
