27 April 1996

The Israeli sand rat, a small hairy rodent, is helping researchers
at Deakin University to understand obesity in humans. The Deakin team, led by
Greg Collier, has isolated the obesity gene. The gene from the rat will
be used by Collier and Paul Zimmet from the International Diabetes
Institute in Melbourne to study genetic influences on obesity and non-insulin
dependent diabetes.
