Is Miat Gene Present In Rat?

I have searched in NCBI-Gene database for this gene. However, the results showed only for Homo sapiens (Human) and Mus muscularis (mouse). Can i conclude that this gene is not present in the genome of rat.

It's a long non-coding RNA. I'm not sure what the conservation of these is, but the chances are this is a more recent discovery and may not have been annotated in all genomes

To confirm your hypothesis: at-least first Blast homologous MIAT gene from other organisms say human, mouse etc. against rat genome and see if you get a hit with good e-value and coverage
