Human cDNA Clones
NBRC is distributing copies of the human cDNA clones to both academia and industries under our distribution policy. The following kinds of clone will be distributed.
- Human Gateway® Entry Clones [more...]
- Full-length Human cDNA Clones
- Splicing-Variant Human cDNA Clones
Here is information about "Full-length Human cDNA Clones" and "Splicing-Variant Human cDNA Clones". [short cut to how to order].
*Gateway® is a registered trademark of Invitrogen.

Human cDNA clones were prepared at the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo (IMS-UT) and Helix Research Institute, Inc (HRI) by the "oligo-capping" method1, 2. And at Kazusa DNA Research Institute (KDRI) the cDNAs were also generated by conventional methods and strictly size-selected.
These clones were provided and analyzed in the following two projects;
- NEDO Full-length human cDNA sequencing project
- This project was performed by Research Association for Biotechnology (RAB) and supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
It was carried out from 1998 till 2002, in a transition period from the structural to functional genomics. The project has already been completed and resulted in more than 30,000 Full-length human cDNA clones from various human organs. Currently, RAB administers cDNA clones from IMS-UT and HRI independently.
The clones were deposited to NBRC and NBRC has started distribution of them since 2002.
- NEDO Functional analysis of protein and research application project
- "Human cDNA sequencing project" focused on splicing variants of mRNA in this project supported by the Japanese government was carried out from 2002 till 2006 and has resulted in about 22,000 Splicing-varinat human cDNA clones. These clones were deposited to NBRC and NBRC has started the distribution since 2007.

| 1. Clone search |
Please search the clones of your interest at NBRC Human cDNA clone search system. The system supports Sequence ID Search, Keywords Search and Sequence Search.
| RefSeq Numbers (ex. NM_000000001) are NOT supported by NBRC Human cDNA clone search system since they are not used in DDBJ and EMBL. If you have any questions, please contact us by email. |
|
| 2. Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirement |
Please check whether the MTAs are required for the clones of your interest at MTA search system.If the result at the "Download" column is "MTA is not required", the MTA is not required for distribution of the clones. If MTA is required, please download the MTA by clicking the button shown.
| Since November 17, 2008, a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is NOT required for distribution of most of our human cDNA clones. (The number of clones which require the MTA is about 160.) For details, please check the following information. If you have any questions, please contact us by email. |
|
| 3. Download the Ordering Form |
Please download "AGREEMENT / ORDER FOR NBRC DNA RESOURCES (Ordering Form) (PDF: 457KB)".
If your government agency requires a document for importing the human cDNA clones, please send us a necessary form(s) to us.
|
| 4. Inquiry to NBRC |
If you would agree the items of "Agreement of Biological Resource Transfer and Treatment"of the Ordering Form and the MTA if it is required, please fill the following document(s) completely and send it to the following address by postal mail or facsimile.

- Ordering Form
- The signature of the Ordering Form must be handwritten.
- If the MTA is required;
- a) The name of either the principal investigator of your laboratory, director of the technology transfer office, or an administrative office representative of your organization is required to be entered as the Recipient of the MTAs. His/her signature must be handwritten (a photo-copied signature is not acceptable).
b) You should send TWO original signed MTAs to us by postal mail. They are needed to securely transfer the human cDNA clones and record about it as agreed by the Depositor, NBRC and the Recipient.
To expedite your order, please fax the Ordering Form and MTA to: +81-438-52-2329. In response to your fax, we will send a proforma invoice by e-mail and start to process your order. However, we cannot ship the clone(s) until we confirm the receipt of the fee (see Fee) and the original signed MTAs if they are required.
c) Please fill the column "SCHEDULE 1 MATERIALS" with name(s) of clone(s) which requires the MTA for distribution.
- Payment
- We accept payment by bank remittance or credit card (VISA or Master). In the latter case, please select a check box "credit card" of the Ordering Form. We do not accept payment by cash or check.
|
| 5. Shipping |
- We will ship the requested clones as soon as we confirm remittance of the amount due and receive your two original signed MTAs if they are required.
- The human cDNA clone(s) will be despatched as a dried DNA pellet in a plastic tube by Express
Mail Service (EMS). FedEx is not available. When we ship your ordered clone(s), we will inform you with EMS item number by email. You can trace it with the number at following web site: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/ems/delivery/ems_search_en.html
