Comparative EST analyses in plant systems.
Expressed sequence tag (EST) data are a major contributor to the known plant sequence space. Organization of the data into non-redundant clusters representing tentative unique genes provides snapshots of the gene repertoires of a species. This chapter reviews availability of sequences and sequence analysis results and describes several resources and tools that should facilitate broad-based utilization of EST data for gene structure annotation, gene discovery, and comparative genomics.
