DNAFORM Clone Search Engine

Search results help page

Explanation on database output and search results:
Select “Select” allows you to mark the clones you want to purchase from DNAFORM. Continue with the “Preview order” function after you have selected the clones for your order.
ID “ID” lists the unique clone ID assigned to each clone. Clicking on the clone ID (marked in blue) will open a new window with clone-specific information. On this window you can find information regarding: Clone collection and plate position, Vector information, Clone related information, Gene related information/annotation information from NCBI, Nucleotide sequence.
Query Length (BLAST Search only) “Query Length” indicates the number of nucleotides entered for the BLAST search.
Hit Length (BLAST Search only) “Hit Length” indicates the number of nucleotides matching with the aligned sequence.
Hit Quality (BLAST Search only) “Hit Quality” gives the percentage of matching nucleotides within the aligned sequence.
Library “Library” indicates from which clone collection the clone is derived. NOTE the special features of ORF clones if your search indentified ORF clones besides RIKEN FANTOM and MGC clones. For more information, please refer under the link: > RIKEN FANTOM Clone > MGC Clone > ORF Clone
Species “Species” indicates from which species the clone had been obtained. Depending on your search criteria, you may find clones from different species.
Accession “Accession” lists the accession number under which clone derived sequences have been deposited at GenBank. Clicking on the accession number (marked in blue) will open a new window with the entry in NCBI under this accession number. NOTE there may be multiple accession numbers for some cDNA clones related to partial (EST) sequences and full-length cDNA sequences.
Gene Accession “Gene Accession” lists Gene Accession numbers where such an identifier had been originally assigned to a cDNA clone. Clicking on the Gene Accession number (marked in blue) will open a new window with the entry in NCBI under this Gene Accession number. NOTE for most clones no Gene Accession numbers are available, and you may wish to use “Gene Entrez” or “Gene Symbol” to get more information on the related gene.
Gene Entrez “Gene Entrez” lists the Gene ID assigned by NCBI within Gene Entrez. Clicking on the Gene ID (marked in blue) will open a new window with the entry in NCBI under this Gene ID number. NCBI provides comprehensive information on each gene including cross references to other information in their databases.
Gene Symbol “Gene Symbol” lists Gene Symbols within NCBI. Gene Symbols are unique abbreviations of gene names assigned by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee after a gene has been identified. Clicking on the Gene Symbol (marked in blue) will open a new window with a publication record on this particular gene.
Collection “Collection” tells to which plate set within the RIKEN FANTOM, MGC, or ORF clone collection a clone belongs. This information is needed to find a clone on a specific plate.
Plate “Plate” tells on which plate within a “Collection” a clone is located. This information is needed to find a clone on a specific plate.
Row and Column “Row” and “Column” tell the position of a clone on a specific “Plate”. This information is needed to find a clone on a plate.
Preview order “Preview order” allows you to review the clone list you had selected for purchase.
