Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana are disclosed. The ESTs provide a unique molecular tool for the targeting and isolation of novel genes for plant protection and improvement. The disclosed ESTs have utility in the development of new strategies for understanding critical plant developmental and metabolic pathways. The disclosed ESTs have particular utility in isolating genes and promoters, identifying and mapping the genes involved in developmental and metabolic pathways, and determining gene function. Sequence homology analyses using the ESTs provided in the present invention, will result in more efficient gene screening for desirable agronomic traits. An expanding database of these select pieces of the plant genomics puzzle will quickly expand the knowledge necessary for subsequent functional validation, a key limitation in current plant biotechnology efforts.

A method of providing an indication of an instance of expression of a gene is described herein, the method which may comprise the steps of: (a) providing a complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) having a terminus comprising a terminal transcribed sequence of a gene; (b) linking the cDNA to an linker sequence thereby forming a linked nucleic acid, in which the linker sequence comprises a first recognition site for a first nucleic acid cleavage enzyme, preferably a restriction endonuclease, that allows nucleic acid cleavage at a site distant from the first recognition site; and (c) cleaving the linked nucleic acid with the first nucleic acid cleavage enzyme to provide a linked tag, in which the linked tag comprises a nucleotide sequence tag representative of a terminal transcribed sequence of the gene; and (d) detecting the presence or identity of the linked tag or the nucleotide sequence tag to provide an indication of an instance of gene expression.
摘要:
A transcript mapping method according to an embodiment of the invention is described hereinafter and combines short tag based (SAGE and MPSS) efficiency with the accuracy of full-length cDNA (flcDNA) for comprehensive characterization of transcriptomes. This method is also referred to as Gene Identification Signature (GIS) analysis. In this method, the 5′ and 3′ ends of full-length cDNA clones are initially extracted into a ditag structure, with the ditag concatemers of the ditag being subsequently sequenced in an efficient manner, and finally mapped to the genome for defining the gene structure. As a GIS ditag represents the 5′ and 3′ ends of a transcript, it is more informative than SAGE and MPSS tags. Segment lengths between 5′ and 3′ tag pairs are obtainable including orientation, ordering and chromosome family for efficient transcript mapping and gene location identification. Furthermore, a compressed suffix array (CSA) is used for indexing the genome sequence for improve mapping speed and to reduce computational memory requirements.
