TL;DR: The National Institutes of Health Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC) Program is a multiinstitutional effort to identify and sequence a cDNA clone containing a complete ORF for each human and mouse gene.

TL;DR: The Pathway Interaction Database (PID), a freely available collection of curated and peer-reviewed pathways composed of human molecular signaling and regulatory events and key cellular processes, serves as a research tool for the cancer research community and others interested in cellular pathways.

TL;DR: Thousands of interactions, organized into thousands of pathways, from many organisms are available from a growing number of databases, and this large amount of pathway data in a computable form will support visualization, analysis and biological discovery.

TL;DR: Comparison of the sequence of the MGC clones to reference genome sequences reveals that most cDNA clones are of very high sequence quality, although it is likely that some cDNAs may carry missense variants as a consequence of experimental artifact, such as PCR, cloning, or reverse transcriptase errors.

TL;DR: An easily accessible view of nearly any gene's expression in a wide variety of malignant and normal tissues, displayed on the SAGE Anatomic Viewer.
