Rhesus cDNA Sequences
and Microarrays
NCRR recently funded two projects to derive rhesus
macaque cDNA sequences and design rhesus-specific microarrays.
In the first project, Dr. Michael Katze, of the Washington
National Primate Research Center, and Dr. Shawn Iadonato,
of Illumigen Biosciences, Inc., are preparing rhesus
cDNA libraries and sequencing the resulting clones.
A general description of the project plus microarray
data that can be downloaded are available online.
The cDNA sequences in FASTA format are also available.
In the second project, Dr. Robert Norgren, of the University
of Nebraska Medical Center, and Dr. Eliot Spindel, of
the Oregon National Primate Research Center, are designing
rhesus-specific microarrays in Affymetrix format, with
input from the research community. View the current list
of sequences expected to be on the chips, plus information
for providing input.
All sequences determined by both projects also will
be deposited in GenBank, which can be accessed through
the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
