Project Summary

The XGC is a trans-NIH initiative whose goals are to provide genomic resources to the Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis community. The program has a number of components including:

• The generation of libraries from different stages of development and adult tissues.
• Sequencing of ~3,000 to 10,000 5’ and 3' ESTs from each library.
• All sequences are deposited into GenBank. The corresponding clones are available through the IMAGE clone distribution network and are fully accessible to the community.
• Analysis of all available sequences into UniGene clusters.
• Selection of candidate complete open reading frame (ORF) clones and their sequencing.
