How to order DNA constructs?

1. Log into VDRC website using your user name & password. If you do not have a user name yet please register first.
   
   
2. You can search for the DNA constructs / RNAi lines for the gene of interest by entering CG number, synonym or Transformant ID (using ’RNAi Quick Search’). For more detailed search please use the ’Advanced RNAi Search Form’. If you want to order large number of DNA constructs / RNAi lines you may find convenient to use ’Search File Upload’.
   
   
3. Please note that the Transformant IDs of DNA constructs start with ’dna...’. (e.g. dna10000)
   
   
4. Submit your order and check out by providing your credit card information.
   
   
5. You will receive an email confirmation with the invoice attached in PDF format.
   
   
6. You can review all your ordered DNA constructs / RNAi lines in your Order History.
   
   

You have the option to order the GD-DNA constructs which we used to create our GD-library. The available DNA constructs are in the section: ’Browse the P-Element DNA Construct Library (GD-DNA)’ on VDRC website. Like the fly lines, you can order the DNA constructs by adding them to your shopping cart. The fee for sending constructs is according to our fly lines and if you combine fly lines and DNA constructs, you profit from the scaled price system.

NEW – if you now use the ’RNAi Quick Search’ feature, you will get combined search results from RNAi fly and DNA construct libraries. You can easily distinguish between DNA constructs and fly lines by the Transformant ID. DNA constructs start with ’dna…’ (e.g. dna3054 for gene CG32848). Of course you have the option to set filters for fly lines or DNA constructs to specify your search.

The DNA constructs will be shipped depending on the amount of ordered items, in tubes or 96-well plates.

Delivery time for DNA constructs:
In case you order DNA constructs only, the preparation time will be 2-3 weeks. If you place a mixed order for DNA constructs and fly lines, we will ship both in one package to you and the delivery time is according to a fly order (up to 6 weeks, due to our flipping schedule of our library).

Details about the DNA constructs you can find under Protocols.
