The I.M.A.G.E. Consortium

"Sharing resources to achieve a common goal - the discovery of all genes"

Tools to query the I.M.A.G.E. database

• We are proud to offer our general purpose query tool, called "IQ" (short for I.M.A.G.E. Query)
• Find out which plates belong to which libraries using the cDNA Plate and Collection Query^*
• Find clones with reported problems, or submit reports about clones, using the I.M.A.G.E. Problem Clone Database
• Get IMAGE cloneIDs for a list of plate locations using the Collect CloneIDs tool.
• Pull up all available IQ information for a single clone:
• Get commonly requested data about libraries using our cDNA Library navigator. Just choose your species here:
  Human Mouse Rat Rhesus Monkey Xenopus laevis Xenopus tropicalis Zebrafish All species
• View Plate Scores.
• Download data via our FTP server.

Some files of interest include:
Plate data: includes information for every cloneID on plate location, library, species and Genbank accessions. Data is updated nightly, with monthly cumulative files. The same information is also available for rearrayed clones .
Library data: lists data for each library, including library name, organism, tissue source, cloning details and host strain. Data is updated nightly, with monthly cumulative files.
Vector data: includes data on vector name, antibiotic resistance and source. Data is updated nightly, with monthly cumulative files.
Sequence-verified clones : list of clones which have been verified by sequence end-reads. New files are generated weekly.
Problem clones: list of clones which have had problems reported by any source (not verified by I.M.A.G.E.). New files are generated weekly.
