Vectors With the help of vectors, any DNA segments, even those foreign to a given species, can be introduced into microorganisms, cell lines and higher organisms. They are an important tool for genetic engineers. An overview of the vectors already evaluated by the…

Cell Lines The cell line database provides an overview of the cell lines that have already been evaluated by the ZKBS. The ZKBS possess sufficient information for cell lines listed in this database. The submission of detailed information on these cell lines, e. g.…

Oncogenes The oncogene database offers the possibility to access information on cellular and viral genes/nucleic acids that have already been evaluated by the ZKBS regarding their oncogenic potential. Further information on nucleic acids with oncogenic potential can…
