RIKEN Arabidopsis full-length cDNA clones (RAFL clones)

This resource is called as RIKEN Arabidopsis full-length cDNA clones (RAFL clones) that has been developed by RIKEN Genomic Sciences Center (GSC) in Yokohama, Japan. The clones were deposited from Dr. Kazuo Shinozaki who is a director of RIKEN Plant Science Center (PSC) and a former group director of Plant Functional Genomics Research Group in RIKEN GSC. The RIKEN GSC, SSP (Salk/Stanford/PGEC) consortium and National Institute of Genetics (NIG) have characterized full-length sequence of approx. 18,000 RAFL clones with the supports from NSF 2010 Project and National BioResource Project. By the SSP consortium, the RAFL clones are called as ‘R clone’ and distinguished from ‘U clone’ that harbors ORF sequence of R clone in pUNI vector.
