The mammalian gene collection

The Mammalian Cone Collection (MGC) project is a new effort by the NIH to g enerate full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) resources. This project will p rovide publicly accessible resources to the full research community. The MG C project entails the production of libraries, sequencing, and database and repository development, as well as the support of Library construction, se quencing, and analytic technologies dedicated to the goal of obtaining a fu ll set of human and other mammalian full-length (open reading frame) sequen ces and clones of expressed genes.
