description: The enormous collection of approximately 110K ESTs includes the approximately 60 000 ESTs in the Rice Genome Project that have been analyzed thus far; from these 60K ESTs more than 9000 partial cDNA sequences corresponding to unique genes have been identified. On the basis of the results of large-scale cDNA analysis, We used an 8987-EST collection to construct a cDNA microarray for which related to other genomics information (full-length cDNA, expression profile, high accuracy genome sequence, phenotype, genetic map, and physical map) in rice. The microarrays can be used to monitor gene expression profiles and to initiate functional analysis of the rice genome.
