Welcome to the Arabidopsis Genetrap Website at Cold Spring Harbor Lab
This website describes a collection of transposon insertions and their flanking sequences from the Martienssen lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Most of the lines carry a unique insertion of a genetrap (GT) or enhancer trap (ET) transposable Ds element somewhere in the Arabidopsis genome. These elements simultaneously disrupt gene function and monitor gene expression (Sundaresan et al., 1995; Martienssen, 1998).
Insertion sites were amplified by TAIL PCR (Liu et al., 1995; Tsukegi et al., 1996) and sequenced in the McCombie lab (CSHWU Sequencing Consortium, 2000). These sequence tags were validated and annotated according to the sequence of the Arabidopsis genome (see sequence annotation). Many of the lines have been stained and about 20% of these have reporter gene expression. Photographs of positive lines are included as links with each entry. Searches can be performed by keyword or by sequence similarity (BLAST). Seed from individual lines are available on request and many have been deposited at the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Center and the Ohio Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center. WARNING The sequence annotation is intended as a guide to additional database searching only. Multiple sequence reads are listed together on each entry page and may reflect multiple elements in some lines. However, while every effort has been made to remove tracking and other errors, the data is preliminary and is mostly unpublished. Many of the sequences have been deposited in Genbank.
