Description
This track shows expressed sequence tags (ESTs) downloaded from the
Rat Genome Database (RGD). An EST is a partial sequence of a randomly-chosen
cDNA, obtained from the results of a single DNA sequencing reaction. ESTs
are used to identify transcribed regions in genomic sequence and to
characterize patterns of gene expression in the tissue from which the
cDNA was derived.
Methods
The data used to create this annotation were obtained from the file
RGD_EST.gff downloaded from the RGD website.
Credits
Thanks to the RGD for
providing this annotation. RGD is funded by grant HL64541 entitled
"Rat Genome Database", awarded to Dr. Howard J Jacob, Medical College of
Wisconsin, from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute
(NHLBI) of the
National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
