OmicsLink™ ORF Expression Clones

Ready to Express

Source BioScience LifeSciences offers over 20,000 human and 15,000 mouse full-length protein coding ORF cDNA clones in multiple sets of vector systems with various features ready for expression. These clones are suitable for a variety of functional assays, protein expression and easy purification in many cell types as well as in cell free expression systems. Therefore, they constitute an excellent resource for large scale functional genomics and proteomics studies.

Human Genes - Full Length Protein Coding ORF Clones

OmicsLink™ ORF expression clones are established following a stringent selection process by generation of the entire coding open reading frame (ORF) of the most common transcriptional variant of a gene and insertion into a modified Gateway® Entry Vector using high fidelity cloning technologies.

Transfer of the ORF into target expression vectors is possible by Invitrogen Corporation's Gateway® Shuttling technology, as well as by classical restriction-ligation cloning (Multiple Cloning Site present in the linker between attachment site and start codon). Furthermore, and in contrast to the classical Gateway® Technology, use of the patented RecJoin™ cloning strategy allows elimination of the extra 8 amino acids encoded by attB site between 5' tag and the start codon ATG, if 5' tag-ORF fusion expression clones are created. The same principle applies to 3' fusion protein production.

OmicsLink™ Expression Clones allow expression and functional analysis of target proteins in many hosts such as E.coli, yeast, baculovirus and mammalian (including CHO) cell lines as well as cell free transcription and translation coupling systems.
