A unique stretch of DNA within a coding region of a gene that is useful for identifying full-length genes and serves as a landmark for mapping. An EST is a sequence tagged site (STS) derived from cDNA. An STS is a short segment of DNA which occurs but once in the genome and whose location and base sequence are known. STSs are detectable by the poly [..]

(EST) Partial or full complementary DNA sequence which can serve as a marker for a region of the genome which encodes an expressed product. [9]

A short sequence that is used to identify an mRNA.

A short piece of DNA sequence corresponding to a fragment of a complementary DNA (made from a cell's messenger RNA). ESTs have been used to hunt for genes, so hundreds of thousands are present in [..]

Partial or complete cDNA sequence.

a short strand of DNA (approximately 200 base pairs long) which is part of a cDNA. Because an EST is usually unique to a particular cDNA, and because cDNAs correspond to a particular gene in the genom [..]

A unique stretch of DNA within a coding region of a gene that is useful for identifying full-length genes and serves as a landmark for mapping.

Partial cDNA (DNA, Complementary) sequences that are unique to the cDNAs from which they were derived.

A partial sequence of an expressed gene. EST sequence is obtained by high- throughput methods and is useful in the mapping of genomes.

A unique DNA sequence derived from a cDNA library (therefore from a sequence which has been transcribed in some tissue or at some stage of development). The EST can be mapped, by a combination of gene [..]
