Identifying IMAGE IDs
To order any IMAGE/MGC clone you will require the IMAGE Id
How do I find the IMAGE ID ?
IMAGE Ids are 5 to 7 digit numbers e.g. Jak2 (Homo sapiens): 5556026
If you do not know the IMAGE Id, we suggest that you look at the
NCBI database
in the first instance:
Taking the example of human Jak2. Select the nucleotide search, and type in
'Jak2 IMAGE'. Under 'top organisms' filter for Homo sapiens.
The resulting entry is:-
BC039695 Homo sapiens Janus kinase 2 (a protein tyrosine kinase),
mRNA (cDNA clone MGC:46028 IMAGE:5556026), complete cds.
To order you must use the IMAGE ID number.
You may of course want to search using accession number or simply
gene name. If an IMAGE ID number is not associated with the nucleotide
sequence then it is not from the IMAGE collection and therefore is not
available to purchase from Geneservice.
Mammalian Gene Collection clones.
MGC clones must be ordered using the IMAGE ID and not using the MGC ID.
e.g. in the case of human Jak2
BC039695 Homo sapiens Janus kinase 2 (a protein tyrosine kinase),
mRNA (cDNA clone MGC:46028 IMAGE:5556026), complete cds.
So for MGC:46028 the IMAGE ID is 5556026
Other useful websites:
-
MGC
The MGC website is very user-friendly, allowing a search on gene symbol
or keyword, but PLEASE NOTE that it does not reference the entire IMAGE
collection
http://mgc.nci.nih.gov
-
IMAGE
The IMAGE website does contain the whole IMAGE collection including
unusual polymorphisms and splice variants. However, it does not allow a
gene symbol or gene keyword search which makes it more difficult to use.

8 digit numbers
These clones cannot be ordered directly from us, however, we may be able to
obtain them directly from our supplier. Please send these IDs to our
enquiries desk. We will check
if they can be obtained and if so, we will order them for our normal clone charge,
plus an administration charge of £25 GBP per clone.
If you wish to translate IMAGE Consortium clone IDs to obtain the clone names,
they can use the IMAGE Translate utility.
If you have already received clones from us, and wish to convert the clone
names back to IMAGE IDs please use this Plate Conversion Utility.
