Interpreting a cDNA Clone Source Data Summary
Interpreting a cDNA Clone Source Data Summary
This help document describes how to interpret a cDNA Clone Source Data Summary. The cDNA Clone Source Data Summary page provides expression information in the form of cDNA library tissue data. In the summarized results, each clone name is linked to the detail report for that clone.
For more information on the Clone Collections, see:See also:
This page contains a summary of information on cDNAs associated with the gene with either an encodes or putative (not verified) relationship.
The top of the page indicates the official gene symbol, linked to its Gene Detail page, and its name and MGI accession ID. A paginated table summarizes the source information for cDNA associated with the gene.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Clone | Clone name, linked to its detail report, and MGI ID. |
| Clone Collection | Name of the collection to which the clone belongs, if applicable. |
| Source Tissue | The tissue used to generate the cDNA library |
| Source Age | The age of the animal when the tissue was harvested |
| Source Cell Line | The cell line used to generate the library |
| Gene | The gene associated with the clone. |
The table is sorted by tissue (alphabetically) and age (earlier first) and then cell line. Clones lacking source information are sorted to the bottom.
Clone collections in MGI refer to designated sets of clones from specific clone libraries. In some cases, the designated set of clones includes all clones from the specified libraries (for example, the IMAGE clone collection is the group of clones from all I.M.A.G.E. consortium clone libraries). In other cases, the designated set of clones includes a well-defined subset of clones from the specified libraries (for example, the NIA 15K clone set is a subset of clones derived from NIA libraries). Clone data in MGI include sequence associations and clone library molecular source information. For all MGI clone collections, molecular source information is mapped to MGI controlled vocabularies.
MGI contains data for mouse cDNA clones from the I.M.A.G.E. consortium, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) mouse cDNA sets (NIA, NIA 7.4K, NIA 15K), as well as from the RIKEN (FANTOM) clone collections. See J:82718 for further details.
| Collection | Link | Details |
|---|---|---|
| IMAGE | I.M.A.G.E. Consortium | The I.M.A.G.E. Consortium provides a resource of arrayed cDNA clones from human and model organism species, including mouse. The IMAGE clone collection in MGI represents all mouse IMAGE cDNA clones. See IMAGE distributors for more information and J:91912 for how MGI obtains and associates these data. |
| MGC | Mammalian Gene Collection | The Mammalian Gene Collection is a collaborative effort between the I.M.A.G.E. Consortium, the National Institutes of Health, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and many academic groups to identify and sequence cDNA clones containing a full-length open reading frame (FL-ORF) for human, mouse, and rat genes. The MGC has sequenced and verified the complete FL-ORFs for a non-redundant set of human, mouse, and rat genes. See J:94121 for how MGI obtains and associates these data. |
| NIA | NIA Mouse cDNA Project Developmental Genomics and Aging Section, Laboratory of Genetics, National Institute on Aging | In MGI, the NIA clone set includes all clones from the cDNA libraries of the NIA cDNA project. This includes all clones in the 15K and 7.4K sets, plus all clones from the NIA cDNA libraries not included in these two distinguished clone sets. See The NIA cDNA Project in mouse stem cells and early embryos for more details about the NIA sets. |
| NIA 7.4K | NIA mouse 7.4K cDNA clone set | The NIA mouse 7.4K cDNA clone set, a distinguished subset of cDNA clones, is comprised of ~7,407 cDNA clones having no redundancy within the set or with NIA Mouse 15K set. The average insert size is around 1.5 kb for short insert clones and around 2.5-3.0 kb for long-insert enriched clones. The clones were sequenced from 5' and 3' termini to obtain longer reads and to verify sequence. The clone names are from H4001A01 to H4079G07. See J:87348 for how MGI obtains and associates these data. |
| NIA 15K | NIA 15K mouse cDNA clone set | The NIA 15K mouse cDNA clone set, a distinguished subset of cDNA clones, is comprised of ~15,000 "unique" cDNA clones rearrayed among 52,374 ESTs from pre- and peri-implantation embryos, E12.5 female gonad/mesonephros, and newborn ovary. The average insert size is around 1.5 kb. Clones were sequenced from 5' and 3' termini to obtain longer reads and verify sequence. Clone names are from H3001A01 to H3159G07. See J:87347 for how MGI obtains and associates this data. |
| RIKEN | Riken Mouse Encyclopedia Project | The RIKEN Mouse Gene Encyclopedia Project, a systematic approach to determining the full coding potential of the mouse genome, involves collection and sequencing of full-length complementary DNAs and physical mapping of the corresponding genes to the mouse genome. Over 100,000 mouse cDNA clones from the Riken cDNA libraries comprise the MGI Riken clone collection. The Riken FANTOM clones are part of this collection as well. |
| RIKEN (FANTOM) | FANTOM (Functional Annotation of Mouse) | The RIKEN Genome Exploration Research (GER) group organized an international meeting (FANTOM) in 2001 to annotate their first 21,076 cDNAs. The outcome was published as Functional annotation of a full-length mouse cDNA collection (Nature, vol. 409, page 685-690). After the FANTOM meeting, the RIKEN group continued to construct mouse fully-length cDNAs. The FANTOM database contains the functional annotations for the RIKEN full-length cDNA clones. The MGI Riken FANTOM collecton, as distinct from the Riken collection, contains only the functionally annotated clones. |
