ACID

ACID catalogs detailed information on microarray cDNA clones from human, mouse, and rat genomes to support analyses of transcript mapping, genomic localization, UniGene cluster associations, and Gene Ontology (GO) annotations.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Clone Information: Links each cDNA clone to UniGene clusters and associated metadata.
• Transcript Mapping: Provides clone positions within full-length transcripts to aid validation of transcript integrity and functionality.
• Genomic Context: Documents each clone's genomic coordinates within genome assemblies.
• Gene Ontology Annotations: Assigns Gene Ontology (GO) terms to clones covering biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic Research: Supports gene expression profiling, comparative genomics, and functional annotation using detailed clone metadata.
• Transcriptome Analysis: Enables exploration of transcript diversity and complexity across human, mouse, and rat datasets.
• Functional Genomics: Facilitates analysis of gene function and interaction networks by integrating GO annotations with clone data.

Methodology:

Data are curated through systematic collection and annotation from genomic resources and validated against UniGene and genome assemblies.
