Genome Resources
The Musa Genome Resources Centre was established at the Laboratory of Molecular Cytogenetics and Cytometry of the Institute of Experimental Botany (IEB), Olomouc, Czech Republic in 2003. The Centre is the distribution arm of the Genomics Consortium and operates on a cost-recovery basis. The primary aim of the Centre is to support research activities of the Musa Genomics Consortium by distributing Musa genome resources to Consortium Members and by developing new resources. However, the Centre distributes Musa genome resources also to individuals and research organizations outside the Consortium.
This section contains information on currently available BAC genomic libraries, cDNA libraries and short insert DNA libraries.
Genome resources are supplied to users only under the terms and conditions stipulated by Material Transfer Agreement (MTA), which ensures that the material and information related to it stays in the public domain. For ordering information please read our ordering information page.
Also you can contribute. Please send us material (library, DNA clones etc.) you would like others to use. We will make it available to the scientific community at cost recovery bases. Intellectual property rights will stay with the contributors who will be dully acknowledged and cited as references.
Please contact the MGRC director, Dr. Jaroslav Dolezel.
with questions about the resources, proposals for scientific collaborations, suggestions for future genomic resources and requests for library copies and commercial licenses.
