The I.M.A.G.E. consortium makes high quality, arrayed cDNA libraries available to the community. Each clone has been given a unique I.M.A.G.E. ID to facilitate reference. The sequence, mapping and expression data has been placed in the public domain. These clones are available free of any royalties and are available to anyone agreeing with the user guidelines. The cDNA resources from the I.M.A.G.E. consortium include:
- The Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) project is an NIH initiative. The goal of the project is to make available a complete set of these full-length cDNA clones in human, rat and mouse.
- The Xenopus Gene Collection (XGC) project is trans-NIH initiative, which was launched, as a subproject of the existing Mammalian Gene Collection. The goal of the project is to make available a complete set of these full-length cDNA clones in Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis.
- The Zebrafish Gene Collection (ZGC) project is an NIH initiative, which was launched in April 2002, as a subproject of the existing Mammalian Gene Collection. The goal of the project is to make available a complete set of these full-length cDNA clones in Zebrafish.
Format
DNAFORM offers the resources from the I.M.A.G.E. consortium in collaboration with GeneService in the UK. Subsets of clones re-arrayed according to common biological features are available as well. For further information contact us under: dna@dnaform.jp.
