Rabbit is more and more used as an experimental animal for the study of biological functions and of human diseases. The reasons of this development are multiple. Rabbits are closer to human than rodents. Rabbits are larger than mice and even rats thus more appropriate for some surgical operations. Cloning in rabbits is now possible and its complete genome is about to be sequenced. Moreover, rabbits are being used to produce pharmaceutical proteins at an industrial scale. A specifi c domain of rabbit biotechnology has become a reality. Expectedly, the techniques of biotechnology should be implemented in future to solve some specifi c problems of rabbit breeding and particularly for the struggle against diseases. This urged Jianglin Fan to organize in Tsukuba the fi rst meeting on rabbit biotechnology in 2005. This fi rst success inclined to pursue the venture. The 2nd meeting thus took place in Jouy en Josas in June 2007. About 20 speakers and 40 participants attended the two days meeting. A major part of the presentations referred to models, transgenic or not, for the study of human diseases. The state of the art in the use of genetic markers, cloning and use of ES cells was depicted. The techniques for breed conservation (semen, embryo and ovary freezing) were shown. The summary of the presentations and posters are reported in this issue. An important point is that a community involved in the development of rabbit biotechnology emerged during the meeting. It was decided to organize other meetings on rabbit biotechnology in future with the idea of not competing with the World Rabbit Meetings but to be complementary. The next rabbit biotechnology meeting should take place in China in 2009.
