title: The Kazusa cDNA project for identification of unknown human transcripts.
abstract: The Kazusa cDNA project is unique by its focus on sequencing large human cDNAs (>4 kb). We describe an overview of the human cDNA sequence data accumulated during the first phase of the project on over 2000 cDNAs and its integration with the genome sequence. In the second phase of the project, which aims at bridging the human genome and proteome using the output of the first phase, we are very carefully evaluating our cDNA clones and, when necessary, experimentally revising them.
