With the increasing number of whole genome sequences available, genomic research has shifted toward the annotation of functional elements and transcribed regions. Thus, the related field of ...

Although the vast majority of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may never prove to be important medically or agriculturally, some could play an important role ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract To understand the mechanisms responsible for aluminum (Al) toxicity and tolerance in plants, an expressed sequence tag (EST) approach was used ...

The vascular tissue of higher plants consists of specialized cells that differ from all other cells with respect to their shape and size, their organellar composition, their extracellular matrix, the ...

Expressed sequence tags are powerful tools for gene expression studies, but when there is simply no substitute for a full-length cDNA, researchers turn to protocols for the Rapid Amplification of cDNA ...
