Ovine ESTs Currently (30/11/2006) there are 186,664 ovine ESTs in NCBI. These include 129,000 AgResearch ESTs derived from 36 separate tissue libraries that were sequenced on contract by MWG. The latest combined AgResearch EST contig build encompasses more than 12,000 genes and has identified more than 7,000 SNPs based on EST overlaps. The major immediate uses for this information are: Primer design for resequencing and SNP validation Provide sufficient sequence to develop a variety of expression array platforms Provides ovine protein sequence for proteomics work Please contact John McEwan for more information.
