The trans-NIH Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) is identifying and sequencing full-length cDNA clones, with more than 10,000 cDNAs completed so far. Mus musculus

The goal of the trans-NIH Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) is to attempt to identify and sequence a representative full-length open reading frame (ORF) clone for each mouse gene. By December 2003, the MGC had deposited more than 10,000 mouse full-length ORF sequences for non-redundant genes in GenBank. All clones generated by the MGC are publicly accessible to the biomedical research community through the IMAGE Consortium distributors.
