Human cDNA Clones

About Human cDNA Clones

Human cDNA clones were prepared at the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo (IMS-UT) and Helix Research Institute, Inc (HRI) by the "oligo-capping" method [gif:24KB]^{1, 2}. And at Kazusa DNA Research Institute (KDRI) the cDNAs were also generated by conventional methods and strictly size-selected.

These clones were provided and analyzed in the following two projects;

NEDO Full-length human cDNA sequencing project

This project was performed by Research Association for Biotechnology (RAB) and supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). It was carried out from 1998 till 2002, in a transition period from the structural to functional genomics. The project has already been completed and resulted in more than 30,000 Full-length human cDNA clones from various human organs. Currently, RAB administers cDNA clones from IMS-UT and HRI independently. The clones were deposited to NBRC and NBRC has started distribution of them since 2002.

NEDO Functional analysis of protein and research application project

"Human cDNA sequencing project" focused on splicing variants of mRNA in this project supported by the Japanese government was carried out from 2002 till 2006 and has resulted in about 25,000 Splicing-varinat human cDNA clones. These clones were deposited to NBRC and NBRC has started the distribution since 2007.
