Hi Brian, I found this very old document. It should be an update I guess because for other policies are updates every year or so. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-99-005.html Let me know if this is useful. When I search for cDNA other documents pop-up but more specific such as for Zebrafish or profiling the nervous system. They look more like protocols or rules. And being so old (1999), several things could change. Sorry, I didn't read in more details and I apologize if it is not what you are looking for. Thanks!

Hello all, Is there a resource that details what journals or funding agencies require for publishing data that utilizes cDNA clones? I've done a brief search of various journal's instructions for authors and came up empty. I am surprised that I haven't easily found at least minimal requirements to submit as supplementary or to make available upon request, the data that proves that the cDNA used in the experiments has the correct/desired nucleotide sequence. Given the fundamental role of the cDNA cloned into expression vectors have in so many experimental approaches which are used to determine the function of gene products in biological processes, I would think that it should be an explicit requirement to provide this basic evidence - that what you are transfecting into cells is what you say it is. Thanks in advance for any input, Brian ―― View topic http://list.abrf.org/r/topic/5oCYrBWBqFrMNw68F3WItO Leave group <email obscured>?Subject=Unsubscribe The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged, confidential, and/or protected from disclosure.
