Quantitative gene expression profiles in real time from expressed sequence tag databases.
An accumulation of expressed sequence tag (EST) data in the public domain and the availability of bioinformatic programs have made EST gene expression profiling a common practice. However, the utility and validity of using EST databases (e.g., dbEST) has been criticized, particularly for quantitative assessment of gene expression. Problems with EST sequencing errors, library construction, EST a...
متن کاملSearching the Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) Databases: Panning for Genes
The genomes of living organisms contain many elements, including genes coding for proteins. The portions of the genes expressed as mature mRNA, collectively known as the transcriptome, represent only a small part of the genome. The expressed sequence tag (EST) databases contain an increasingly large part of the transcriptome of many species. For this reason, these databases are probably the mos...
متن کاملAnalysis of expressed sequence tag data and gene expression profiles involved in conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum.
We obtained 3,372 tentative unique transcripts (TUTs) from a cDNA library of Fusarium oxysporum. A cDNA array with 3,158 TUTs was produced to analyze gene expression profiles in conidial germination. It seems that ras and other signaling genes, e.g., ccg, cooperatively initiate conidial germination in Fusarium by increasing protein synthesis.
متن کاملGene2EST: a BLAST2 server for searching expressed sequence tag (EST) databases with eukaryotic gene-sized queries.
Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are randomly sequenced cDNA clones. Currently, nearly 3 million human and 2 million mouse ESTs provide valuable resources that enable researchers to investigate the products of gene expression. The EST databases have proven to be useful tools for detecting homologous genes, for exon mapping, revealing differential splicing, etc. With the increasing availability of...
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...
