Fully-sequenced Xenopus Gene Collection (XGC) and IMAGE cDNA clones contain full coding sequences of expressed genes from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis.
Highlights
Xenopus ORFeome
Approximately 9000 clones representing almost 7800 unique gene IDs
ORFs are derived directly from the XGC and placed in a Gateway Donor vector, omitting the stop codon, for easy transfer to an expression vector and 3ʹ end-tagging
ORFs were end sequenced to confirm identity; detailed information on their development can be found here: http://www.xenbase.org/reagents/static/orfeome.jsp
XenopusGene Collection (XGC)
A subset of the NIH Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC)
Fully sequenced XGC clones for Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis
Verified to contain a complete coding sequence (CDS)
Individual clones, custom libraries, and entire collections available as glycerol stocks

I.M.A.G.E. Xenopus cDNA and EST clones
Fully-sequenced clones were sequenced through the coding region of the gene by the I.M.A.G.E. consortium
Partially-sequenced clones, also known as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), have been 5’ or 3’ end-sequenced by the I.M.A.G.E. consortium and contain all or part of a specific gene
