What is the Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center?
The Missouri S&T cDNA Resource Center is a service provided by the faculty of the Department of Biological Sciences of Missouri University of Science and Technology. The purpose of the cDNA Resource Center is to further scientific investigation by providing cDNA clones of human proteins involved in signal transduction processes. The goal of the Center is to accelerate scientific discovery in human biology and pathology. This is achieved by providing high quality clones for important signaling proteins in a timely manner. By high quality, we mean that the clones are: • Sequence verified • Propagated in a versatile vector (pcDNA3.1+) • Free of extraneous 3′ and 5′ untranslated regions • Available in wild-type, epitope-tagged and common mutant forms (e.g., constitutively-active or dominant negative) • Expression-verified in most cases by coupled in vitro transcription/translation assays By timely, we mean that the clones are • Most orders shipped within one business day by courier deliver
