Description: The division Molecular Genome Analysis of the DKFZ has contributed to the ORFeome Collaboration Gateway entry clones covering about 3000 human genes. These clones were generated and analyzed within the German cDNA Consortium. This was initiated in 1996 as the world's second large-scale cDNA analysis project, and aimed at systematically generating, sequencing and annotating full-length cDNAs of human genes [1-4]. Starting from gene identification, the consortium then moved on to the cloning of ORFs encoded in cDNAs to establish and exploit this resource in functional genomics projects. The Division Molecular Genome Analysis (DKFZ) generated the clone resources for sequencing, coordinated the consortium, and carried out warehousing of clones, sequences and annotation. Within the ORFeome Collaboration, the DKFZ has further carried out the annotation of all ORFeome Collaboration clones and sequences, using a bioinformatics pipeline that has been established specifically for this purpose.

Description: DNASU is a central repository for plasmid clones and collections. Currently we store and distribute over 205,000 plasmids including 75,000 human and mouse plasmids, full genome collections, the protein expression plasmids from the Protein Structure Initiative as the PSI: Biology Material Repository (PSI : Biology-MR), and both small and large collections from individual researchers. We are also a founding member and distributor of the ORFeome Collaboration plasmid collection.

The FANTOM Consortium

Organized by the RIKEN Preventive Medicine & Diagnosis Innovation Program and RIKEN Center for Life Science Technologies - Division of Genomic Technologies

Description: FANTOM is an international research consortium established by Dr. Hayashizaki and his colleagues in 2000 to assign functional annotations to the full-length cDNAs that were collected during the Mouse Encyclopedia Project at RIKEN. FANTOM has since developed and expanded over time to encompass the fields of transcriptome analysis. The object of the project is moving steadily up the layers in the system of life, progressing thus from an understanding of the elements - the transcripts - to an understanding of the system - the transcriptional regulatory network, in other words the system of an individual life form.
