I.M.A.G.E. Consortium cDNA Clones

Image Consortium

The I.M.A.G.E. consortium make 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 their guidelines.

Mammalian Gene Collection

The Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) is an NIH initiative to generate full-length cDNA resources. Geneservice Ltd is now able to supply these full-length cDNA clones. Click here for more information.

Image Consortium SP clones

Due to the high levels of redundancy in the human and mouse MGC collections, clones from those species arrayed for 5' sequencing since October 2002 (production plates LLAM, LLCM, and LLKM) will no longer be routinely available. Please note the following changes, effective October 2002:

  • All new human and mouse MGC clones have an 8-digit IMAGE identifier to distinguish them from clones arrayed prior to this date, which have 5, 6, or 7 digit identifiers.
  • Only human and mouse clones sent out for full-insert sequencing are available from all IMAGE distributors on a routine basis (as before). To see if a particular clone is included in the completely sequenced set, please check ftp://image.llnl.gov/image/outgoing/ND_available_clones.txt.
  • Human and mouse MGC clones not sent out for full-insert sequencing and which are non-redundant (one whose sequence is unique, i.e. no other clone from the same species contains an identical sequence) can still be ordered directly from the IMAGE distributors, but will require additional processing time.

If your clone is part of the full-length set, Geneservice will automatically consider it as a normal clone. However if your clone is not part of the full lenght set, Geneservice Ltd will order it for you for our normal clone prices plus an Admin charge of GBP 30 per clones. Please be aware that due to the increased complexity in checking and eventually getting these clones, it will take a minimum of 3 weeks for an order to be processed.
