- Partial sequence (300~500bp) of cDNA
- That is, part where intron is removed
- Part where some parts of axons are connected
================================================================================
How to analyze EST
- First, perform following
- cDNA_library=convert(mRNA)
cDNA: Complementary DNA

How to utilize EST analysis
- it can collect massive genomics data which express at certain time
- it can be used for writing genomics map
- it can be used to make polymorphism on "expressing genes"
- In specific spicies, from different living creatures,
you obtain EST analysis
Then, you can know the function of specific organ or tissues by comparing them
