CR-EST -- a resource for crop ESTs
What you can do:
Search for sequence, classification, clustering and annotation data of crop EST projects.
Highlights:
- CR-EST currently holds more than 200000 sequences derived from 41 cDNA libraries of four species: barley, wheat, pea and potato.
- CR-EST deploys an automatic EST preparation pipeline that includes the identification of chimeric clones in order to transparently display the data quality.
- Sequences are clustered in species-specific projects to currently generate a non-redundant set of 22600 consensus sequences and 17200 singletons, which form the basis of the provided set of unigenes.
- A web application allows the user to compute BLAST alignments of query sequences against the CR-EST database, query data from Gene Ontology and metabolic pathway annotations and query sequence similarities from stored BLAST results.
- CR-EST also features interactive JAVA-based tools, allowing the visualization of open reading frames and the explorative analysis of Gene Ontology mappings applied to ESTs.
