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).
