- How can I obtain the actual genomic
microbial DNA or EST clones?
TIGR does not distribute clones for the organisms we sequence.
Our clone distribution policy
provides details on how to get clones.
The THCs within the Human Gene Index are consensus sequences
derived from EST sequences deposited in dbEST, gene sequences
parsed from GenBank records, and HT sequences from EGAD.
The THCs do not represent physical clones.
The EST sequences within each THC represent clones that
can be obtained from the ATCC, Research Genetics, Incyte
Genomics, or other distributors.
- How can I get TIGR Software?/What
can TIGR Software do for me?
Please visit the TIGR
Software page for details.
- I am a researcher and I
will be in the area, or I am a journalist. Can I visit TIGR?
TIGR does not conduct standard tours, but does offer
Student and Teacher Training
and visits by school groups. Journalists can
contact our Communications Office by email.
- Can I link to your site?
Legitimate scientific and commercial entities are welcome
to link to the TIGR site. We reserve the right to request
that such links be removed.
- I would like to automate data
analysis through the TIGR Web Site. Can I do this?
We usually don't allow automated download of our pages,
and we restrict automated scripting that hits our databases.
Sites that are abusing access privileges will be informed
and access will be restricted.
- Can I download your data?
Published sequence is available through our TIGR
Database pages. For access to our unfinished genomic
data, you must fill out the license
agreement (free for academics). Please be sure someone
authorized to sign for the institution (such as a professor
or an advisor) fills it out, using her/his university
email address (we don't accept .com addresses for the
free academic licenses). Commercial entities must contact
license@tigr.org
- How many genomes has TIGR published?
Our MDB pages provide a list of the world's microbial
genome projects completed
and underway.
All of TIGR’s microbial projects are listed.
