Abstract
Functional characterization of the human genome requires tools for systematically modulating gene expression in both loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments. We describe the production of a sequence-confirmed, clonal collection of over 16,100 human open-reading frames (ORFs) encoded in a versatile Gateway vector system. Using this ORFeome resource, we created a genome-scale expression collection in a lentiviral vector, thereby enabling both targeted experiments and high-throughput screens in diverse cell types.

Contributions
J.S.B., Xia. Y. and D.E.R. wrote the manuscript and, together with D.E.H., K.S.-A. and M.V., designed and supervised the process of creating clonal sequenced ORF collections. Xin. Y., D.B., L.G., J.S.B., S.R.T., H.H., R.R.M., K.S.-A. and C.M.J. generated the starting collections of ORFs. R.L., O.A., J.S.B., C.N., Xia. Y., S.J.S., S.R.T. and C.M.J. created the final libraries, DNA, viruses and pLX vectors, and evaluated expression. T.H., Y.S., C.F., C.L., J.S.B., T.B., T.M.G., Xia. Y. and D.E.R. performed bioinformatic analyses. M.V., W.C.H., D.E.H. and D.E.R. supervised the project.
