Abstract
Collections of nonredundant, full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) clones fo r each of the model organisms and humans will be important resources for st udies of gene structure and function. We describe a general strategy for pr oducing such collections and its implementation, which so far has generated a set of cDNAs corresponding to over 40% of the genes in the fruit fly Dro sophila melanogaster.
