We are making sets of cDNA filters which are blotted with high-density grids of plaques of the some 4,400 cDNA clones most of which has been tag-sequenced as described above. The set consists of 3 nylon membrane filters (12 x 8.5 cm) on each of which cDNA clones from 15 or 16 of 96 well plate stocks are gridded as below using a home-made apparatus. We are intended to make the filters available to the worm community. Anyone who are interested in trying the filters, send your request to us at (e-mail) ykohara@ddbj.nig.ac.jp or (Fax) +81-559-75-6240.
