I.M.A.G.E. Clone IDs
Several utilities are provide to assist with I.M.A.G.E. clones:

I.M.A.G.E. clone information
This tool will give you access to a large range of information on a particular I.M.A.G.E. clone. You will have access to the vector, insertion sites, species, organ used to build the library, sequence, GeneBank accession number and more.

I.M.A.G.E. Translate
Use this tool to match the I.M.A.G.E. ID (e.g. 1226314) to the I.M.A.G.E. clone coordinate (e.g. 3083-n11) on our agar slope labels.

GPCR Finder
Use this tool to match the I.M.A.G.E. ID (e.g. 6519150) to the GPCR clone coordinate (e.g. IRBF1-A07) on our agar slope labels and also the Gene name (eg G-protein alpha z).

Plate Conversion Utility
This tool converts the clone name back to the I.M.A.G.E. ID.

MGC Finder
- is only available from Geneservice Ltd and enables you to obtain all the current information on an MGC clone - IMAGE ID, MGC_ID, species, vector, rearray clone location, Genbank Accession number, Unigene Cluster Number, GenBank definition line and gene symbol. In addition, MGC Finder now has a plate query tool that allows you to obtain all the above information for any MGC plate.

RNAi Finder - Enter Gene ID or Geneservice Plate number to find the corresponding nomenclatures for this clone

C.elegans Finder
Use this tool for finding the plate and well position (Geneservice ID) for any GenePair Name and vice versa together with the primer sequences.

Cystic Fibrosis Finder

C.elegans Orfeome Finder
Use this tool to find the plate and well position (Geneservice ID) for any C. elegans Orfeome ID and vice versa.

C. elegans FOS finder
This tool allows you to search for your gene or region of interest.

C. elegans Promoterome finder
Use a gene ID to find your promoter of interest.

Other Utilities

Well Plate Conversion
You can convert 96-well plate coordinates to 384-well plate coordinates and vice versa using this utility.

LLNL Chromosome 19 Finder
Allows you to correlate all the IDs for a given Chromosome 19 clone.

Contract Research Tools

Fragment Analysis

Peak Scanner Software v1.0 (PC: Free)
This easy-to-use software analyses separated DNA fragments by size, provides a profile of the separation, and precisely calculates each fragment size. The user can view, edit, analyze, print, and export fragment analysis data generated on all Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyser platforms.

STRand, Nucleic Acid Analysis Software
STR Analysis Software for fragment analysis.

Sequencing

Chromas (PC: £)
Opens chromatogram files from Applied Biosystems and Amersham MegaBace DNA sequencers and view Genescan genotype files.
Save in SCF or Applied Biosystems format and exports sequences in plaint text, formatted with base numbering, FASTA, EMBL, GenBank or GCG formats. Reverse & complement the sequence and chromatogram, search for sequences by exact matching or optimal alignment. Display translations in 3 frames along with the sequence.

Edit View (Mac OS9: free)
Macintosh users can download a copy of the FREE Applied Biosystems program Edit View from the this web site. Please click on the link below to initiate download of Stuffit (.sit) archive. You will need a copy of the Stuffit Expander application to decode this file.

FinchTV (PC, Mac, Linux: Free)
Geospizas FinchTV is the popular way to view DNA sequence traces on Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, and Solaris. FinchTV started as the only chromatogram viewer that can display an entire trace in a scalable multipane view. Now it leads again with raw data views, BLAST searching and the ability to reverse complement sequences and traces.

Jemboss (PC, Mac, Linux: Free)
EMBOSS, The European Molecular Biology Open Source Software Suite, is a package of high-quality FREE Open Source software for sequence analysis. Jemboss is a java viewer for emboss.

Staden (PC, Unix: Free)
The Assembly program Gap4 performs assembly, contig joining, assembly checking, repeat searching, experiment suggestion, read pair analysis and contig editing. Has graphical views of contigs, templates, readings and traces which all scroll in register. Contig editor searches and experiment suggestion routines use phred confidence values to calculate the confidence of the consensus sequence and hence only identify places requiring visual trace inspection or extra data. The result is extremely rapid finishing and a consensus of known accuracy. Pregap4 prepare sequence trace data for analysis or assembly and provides a graphical user interface to set up the processing required to prepare trace data for assembly or analysis; and also gives a method for its automation. The possible processes which can be set up include trace format conversion, quality analysis, vector clipping, contaminant screening and repeat searching.

PC to Mac conversion utiliy (Mac: Free)
ABI has now moved to Windows PC as their computer standard. Mac users need to convert their sequencer files as follows:

  • Download and save "ConvProg.sit" from Applied Biosystems
  • Expand the file to a folder "ConvProg Folder" using StuffIt Expander
  • Convert the PC electropherogram files from Windows format to Mac format using the conversion program "Sample File Win to Mac" in the ConvProg Folder:
  • Double click to launch the conversion program "Sample File Win to Mac".
  • Select the folder (NOT THE INDIVIDUAL FILES INSIDE THE FOLDER) generated from the above step 3), which contains the expanded sequencing results to be converted.
  • Click "Choose". The files will be converted in the folder automatically.
