Much of the research within the Program crosses organizational boundaries, but we have used these subdivisions to highlight the significant research achievements accomplished during 2000. Data for this organism is in the final stages of annotation for submission and publication. Completed sequencing the genome Rhodopseudomonas palustris .
Data are in the final stages of annotation for submission and publication.
The I.M.A.G.E. Consortium provided additional arrayed cDNA resources to the community through a network of distributors. We have arrayed over four million cDNAs from five species, which have resulted in over three million ESTs submitted to Genbank so far. A new sequence-based clustering software package that identifies clusters of I.M.A.G.E. cDNA clones not associated with any known gene was developed and released. Eighteen novel mutations have been identified in screens of 100 translocation mutant mouse stocks this year. These provide new models for inherited human health disorders including deafness, ataxia and neuromuscular disease, skeletal abnormalities, and predisposition to cancer.
