Geneservice Gene Sets
Introduction
Geneservice Ltd has made sets of genes from the IMAGE and MGC collections of clones and are now distributing these sets to customers to enhance their projects in a systematic manner. Sets are available for human, mouse and rat and are great value for money.
The I.M.A.G.E. consortium
compose high quality, arrayed cDNA libraries and make them 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
accepting the "good faith agreement". See Lennon et al. The Mammalian Gene Collection
(MGC) is an NIH initiative to generate full-length cDNA resources.

How the sets were made
Identification of the clones was performed using a bioinformatic procedure. Gene sets were compiled by arraying clones from MGC and IMAGE. The schematic for the procedure is the following:
Identify a gene name list from a text search of the gene nomenclature committee database
Search all available IMAGE and MGC clones for gene name list using CloneHunter
Select using the priority: MGC, IMAGE 7 digit, IMAGE 8 digit
Arrayed the selected clones
Gene sets are sold at whole plate prices even if only a part plate is used.

Limitations of the Gene Sets
Discovered gene names might be only associated with the search term and not necessarily functionally related (Eg a phosphatase associated gene).
Not all gene names in all human, mouse and rat have an MGC or IMAGE clone
The gene sets are not sequence verified and probably contain as many errors as are found normally in the IMAGE library.
There is no guarantee that the set is a complete list
