| Name | BCCM/GeneCorner Plasmid Collection |
| Alternative name | BCCM Plasmid Collection |
| Description | BCCM/GeneCorner is a partner of the Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM). Funded by the Belgian Science Policy (Belspo), BCCM/GeneCorner, previously known as BCCM/LMBP, is a unique plasmid repository in Europe.
BCCM/GeneCorner warrants the long-term storage and distribution of plasmids, microbial host strains and DNA libraries of fundamental, biotechnological, educational or general scientific importance. BCCM/GeneCorner also accepts natural and genetically modified animal or human cell lines, including hybridomas, as well as other genetic material, in the safe deposit and patent deposit collections. BCCM/GeneCorner provides the following services: - characterisation tests: plasmid profile analysis, bacteriophage contamination testing, plasmid sequencing and annotation, ...; - gene technology services: plasmid DNA extraction (small and large scale); - training & consultancy: training on plasmids and host cells, consultancy, collaboration, customized services BCCM/GeneCorner is ISO 9001:2015 certified for accession, control, preservation, storage and supply of biological material and related information in the frame of public deposits, safe deposits and patent deposits. |
| Description for specialists | The focus is on the collection of recombinant plasmids that can replicate in a microbial host strain, with main interest for:
- empty cloning plasmids useful for recombinant (over)expression of proteins of interest in bacteria, yeast, fungi, insect cells, plant and animal cells; - (expression) plasmids carrying specific protein-coding genes and derivatives from a wide range of organisms (human, mouse, various bacterial species, ...); - expression plasmids with specific non-coding genes such as shRNA and miRNA; - plasmids for mouse genetic engineering, allowing the generation of transgenic mice. By default, BCCM/GeneCorner plasmids are distributed as 1 ml plasmid-carrying cultures, grown to saturation in selective, liquid medium. Plasmid DNA (1 µg or a custom amount) is available on specific request. |
