Background: Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short and error-prone DNA sequences generated from the 5' and 3' ends of randomly selected cDNA clones. They provide an im...

The avMlability of large EST(Expressed Sequence Tag)databases has led to a revolution in the waynew genes are cloned. Difficulties arise, however,due to high error rates and redun...
Background: The analysis of expressed sequence tags (EST) offers a rapid and cost effective approach to elucidate the transcriptome of an organism, but requires several computatio...
