Full ORF Entry Clones (ORFeome Collaboration - OC)
Formed in late 2005, the ORFeome Collaboration (OC) was established to provide the research community with an unrestricted source of fully sequence-validated human Full ORF clones, in a format allowing easy transfer of the ORF sequences into virtually any type of expression vector.
One of the main goals of the project is to provide at least one fully-sequenced Full ORF clone for each of the ~ 18500 currently defined human genes.
The ORFeome Collaboration primarily focuses on human genes; however, the following collections for other model organisms have also been developed:
- Mouse Full ORF Entry Clones (OCAC)
- Zebrafish Full ORF Entry Clones (OCAF)
- Entry Clone Collections for Xenopus and Drosophila.
In addition to the Entry Clone Collections, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Broad Institute have developed a collection of ready-to-use Human Full ORF Lentiviral Expression Clones (hORFeomeV8.1 CCSB-Broad), for transfection and study of protein expression in mammalian cells.
- Entry Clone collections from various species (human, mouse, zebrafish, Drosophila, Xenopus)
- Ready-to-use human Expression Clone Collection
- Fully-sequenced and annotated
- Genome-scale collections, 73% of 20506 RefSeq human genes covered
- Gateway-adapted ORFs allow for efficient and easy transfer into a variety of compatible prokaryotic, mammalian, viral, or insect expression vectors
- Many ORFs available with or without stop codon (annotated in your search hit) enabling production of native proteins or C-terminal fusion constructs
- High fidelity: Each CDS was amplified for only 25 cycles with gene-specific primers and KOD HiFi Polymerase (Novagen), greatly minimising the risk of PCR-induced mutations
- Easy generation of clones suitable for protein expression in various systems via Gateway shuttle reaction
- Expression of native proteins or fusion proteins including N.- or C-terminal tags
- Investigation of protein structure and function
- Protein localisation studies
- In vitro transcription
- RNAi rescue
Order Conditions
The use of the resource is limited to research purposes. The collection is subject to the following MTA and our clone terms and conditions.
Due to MTA requirements, individual clones and libraries should be ordered via our website.
Single Clones
Individual clones can be easily ordered online via our website at the link below. The clones can be retrieved by a gene-based search as well as by the IMAGE ID or the original Clone Id from CSSB_Broad for the ORFeomeV8.1 resources (e.g. ccsbBroad304_00125).

The Drosophila ORFeome in the Gateway entry vector pDONR223 includes ~11,000 ORFs. The ORFs were transferred from the original Creator Clone collection at LLBL in collaboration with Sue Celniker (LLBL) and Norbert Perrimon and Stephanie Mohr (HMS).

Subsets
We can also make subsets of your chosen clones from the collection. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Protocols / Clone Handling
Please note that the clone(s) are tested as negative in our phage contamination assay prior to shipping. However, these clones should still be handled with care as no phage assay can be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Clones should be stored at +4°C on receipt. As soon as possible, re-streak the clones onto the same medium and incubate overnight at 37°C to obtain single colonies. A selection of at least 10 single colonies should be picked and grown in LB broth containing the appropriate antibiotic +8 % glycerol for subsequent freezing at -70°C. These frozen stocks can then be re-grown for plasmid isolation and purification.
