Origin
The cDNA Library is comprised
of 15,289 UniGene clusters, each of which represents a unique human gene.
At least one sequence in each cluster corresponds to a physical cDNA clone
that is available from the IMAGE
consortium. The cDNA Library of clones has been re-arrayed from the
original libraries by Research Genetics.
The cDNA Library sequences represent a collection of "potentially interesting"
genes with which to test large-scale, high-throughput gene expression
technologies.
Criterion
All sequences selected from inclusion in the cDNA Library meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Correspondence to a named or functionally-cloned gene
- Inclusion on the Human Transcript Map
- Significant similarity to known proteins in the SwissProt Database
- Specific research interest of collaborators
All sequences meet the criterion of availability as a physical cDNA clone;
Breakdown
| Category | Number of Clones |
|---|---|
| Functionally Cloned Genes | 6,842 |
| On the Human Transcript Map | 7,679 |
| Protein Similarity | 1,958 |
| Of Specific Research Interest | 364 |
| Total Sequences* | 15,289 |
*The sum of the numbers for the 4 categories is greater than the total number of sequences because some sequences fall into more than one category.
