What tools are available to query the I.M.A.G.E. dataset?
In response to requests for help querying the large I.M.A.G.E. dataset, informatics staff have developed as set of web-based tools. These include the IQ, a general-purpose clone and library query tool. Additional tools have been developed by our collaborators. The Mammalian Gene Collection websites (MGC for human, mouse, rat and cow; XGC for Xenopus and ZGC for zebrafish) allow you to search for full-length MGC clones by gene symbol or keyword, do a nucleotide BLAST against full-length clones, download the full-length clone and sequence list, and view all ESTs and candidate full-length genes.
