Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project

OVERVIEW

The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project (BDGP) is a consortium of the Drosophila Genome Center, funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Cancer Institute, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, through its support of work in the Gerald Rubin and Allan Spradling laboratories.

Rubin et al. have selected 5,849 non-redundant cDNA clones for single-colony purification and re-arraying after careful analysis of over 80,000 ESTs to find full-length cDNA clones, including verification of the 3' ends of these clones.

Version 1.0 has been released as of August 2000 as bacterial glycerol stocks in 384-well plates; it has also been released to others as plasmid DNA stocks in 96-well plates. The stocks have been released to sites chosen by the Drosophila Board, as well as to distributors.
