Expressed Sequence Tags of Chinese Cabbage Flower Bud cDNA

Expressed sequence tags of Chinese cabbage flower bud cDNA.

We randomly selected and partially sequenced cDNA clones from a library of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis) flower bud cDNAs. Out of 1216 expressed sequence tags (ESTs), 904 cDNA clones were unique or nonredundant. Five hundred eighty-eight clones (48.4%) had sequence homology to functionally defined genes at the peptide level. Only 5 clones encoded known flower-specific...

Expressed sequence tags: normalization and subtraction of cDNA libraries expressed sequence tags\ normalization and subtraction of cDNA libraries.

Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) provide a rapid and efficient approach for gene discovery and analysis of gene expression in eukaryotes. ESTs have also become particularly important with recent expanded efforts in complete genome sequencing of understudied, nonmodel eukaryotes such as protists and algae. For these projects, ESTs provide an invaluable source of data for gene identification and pr...

Expressed Sequence Tags

Now a days, genome analysis has employed a rapid analysis tool known as expressed sequence tags. In 1983, SD Putney for the first time demonstrated the use of cDNA in identification of genome. The term expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was coined by Anthony Kerlavage at the Institute for Genomic Research. In 1991, Mark Adams used EST in relation to gene discovery and Human Genome project. cDNA or ...

Analysis of expressed sequence tags of flower buds in Lotus japonicus.

In order to study gene expression in a reproductive organ, we constructed a cDNA library of mature flower buds in Lotus japonicus, and characterized expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of 842 clones randomly selected. The EST sequences were clustered into 718 non-redundant groups. From BLAST and FASTA search analyses of both protein and DNA databases, 58.5% of the EST groups showed significant seque...
