What's New?

• IMAGEne 4.8 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• The cDNA Library Navigator has been updated to support multiple browsers. It has been verified to function in IE, Mozilla/Firefox, and Safari (Mac only).

• The Problem Clone interface is now less sensitive to extraneous whitespace (verified with newer browser versions).

• Quality Control (QC) webpage updated with new process overview. Results of sequence-based QC on the verified full-length clone sets are also available and updated whenever new data is added.

• A new search tool was created to check for clone and plate availability. It is located here.

• A new IMAGE Quality Control (QC) system has been released. It can be found here.

• LLAM Plate scores ( plates >= 15685 ) are now available on the web.

• IMAGEne 4.7 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• A new tool, Collect Clone IDs, has been made publicly available. Given plate locations, it will return the IMAGE clone IDs that are located in those wells.

• A new general purpose query tool has been created, it will allow you to relate data in ways not previously possible. Check out the I.M.A.G.E. query, affectionately called I.Q..

• The problem clone interface has been improved to track problem reports in a more generic format.
• A new section has been added to the front page to help our users find tools to query our database. See the Query Tools page for more info.

• After long effort we have finally ported our databases from Sybase to Oracle. This was needed to overcome security restrictions, storage problems and for financial reasons.

• IMAGEne version 3.2.1. was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• The Problem Clone interface used by IMAGE distributors has been improved and access has been given to the public. See the Reported Problems with IMAGE clones page for details.

• A new interface for retrieving information about libraries has been developed and can be found from the Library and Vector Information page.

• IMAGEne 3.1 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• The Problem Clone interface used by IMAGE distributors was given a face lift and the functionality has been improved

• IMAGEne version 3.0 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• The I.M.A.G.E. web site has been moved to our own private server. The new URL is http://image.llnl.gov

• IMAGEne version 2.0 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• IMAGE begins to provide clone production and data tracking for the NIH Mammalian Gene Collection project, with the goal to generate full-length cDNA resources for human, mouse and rat.

• The 'Arrayed Clones by Library' and 'Arrayed Clones by Tissue' pages now tell when they were last updated.
• The 'Arrayed Clones by Tissue' page has been fixed. It previously reported inaccurate and outdated figures.

• IMAGEne version 1.4 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• IMAGEne version 1.1 was released. Click here to see what's new in this release.

• Announcing IMAGEne! IMAGEne is a new software product that clusters EST's from GenBank to all known genes, ranks the clones within each cluster, and provides an interface to query the results. Master and candidate_gold listings can be obtained via an anonymous ftp site at image.llnl.gov. These listings are located within the /pub/image folder and are appended with the IMAGEne version number they were derived from. A master listing contains the 'best' clone for each known gene. A candidate_gold listing is a subset of the master list, containing only full length clones.

• Public access to the Clone Problem database is now available via a user interface that returns all reported problems for specified clone(s).

• A centralized Problem Clone database has been created to manage all reported problems with I.M.A.G.E. clones. LLNL and all distributors are now importing their reported problems into this database. A secure data entry form is available for use by LLNL and the I.M.A.G.E. distributors.
