Current EST sequencing projects and their use in gene expression studies More than 8000 ESTs resulting from 12 subtractive and 3 normalized libraries from 6 tissues have been sequenced by MPI within the framework of the EU funded projects Aquafirst and Marine Genomics Europe. In addition, normalized tissue or stage specific libraries are currently being sequenced by Genoscope and JGI. A new EST database is hosted by INRA on the Sigenae Information system, bringing together these new ESTs with all previously published ESTs and mRNAs. The 1758 obtained contigs plus 7518 singletons are now being used to construct an European C. gigas microarray slide. Recent advances in EST sequencing in Crassostrea gigas: towards the sequencing of the Pacific oyster genome.
