Discovery of three genes specifically expressed in human prostate by expressed sequence tag database analysis.
A procedure is described to discover genes that are specifically expressed in human prostate. The procedure involves searching the expressed sequence tag (EST) database for genes that have many related EST sequences from human prostate cDNA libraries but none or few from nonprostate human libraries. The selected candidate EST clones were tested by RNA dot blots to examine tissue specificity and...
متن کاملIdentification of novel glutathione transferases and polymorphic variants by expressed sequence tag database analysis.
The human expressed sequence tag (EST) database can be searched by different sequence alignment strategies to identify new members of gene families and allelic variants. To illustrate the value of database analysis for gene discovery, we have focused on the glutathione S-transferase (GST) super family, an approach that has led to the identification of the Zeta class. The Zeta class GSTs catalyz...
متن کاملAnalysis of Unannotated Equine Transcripts Identified by mRNA Sequencing
Sequencing of equine mRNA (RNA-seq) identified 428 putative transcripts which do not map to any previously annotated or predicted horse genes. Most of these encode the equine homologs of known protein-coding genes described in other species, yet the potential exists to identify novel and perhaps equine-specific gene structures. A set of 36 transcripts were prioritized for further study by filte...
متن کاملGene discovery through expressed sequence Tag sequencing in Trypanosoma cruzi.
Analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) constitutes a useful approach for gene identification that, in the case of human pathogens, might result in the identification of new targets for chemotherapy and vaccine development. As part of the Trypanosoma cruzi genome project, we have partially sequenced the 5' ends of 1, 949 clones to generate ESTs. The clones were randomly selected from a norma...
متن کاملExpressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of Gregarine gametocyst development.
Gregarines are protozoan parasites of invertebrates in the phylum Apicomplexa. We employed an expressed sequence tag strategy in order to dissect the molecular processes of sexual or gametocyst development of gregarines. Expressed sequence tags provide a rapid way to identify genes, particularly in organisms for which we have very little molecular information. Analysis of approximately 1800 exp...
