Twenty-one expressed sequence tags (ESTs) belonging to unidentified transcripts were mapped to 9 intervals at 11p15.5-p15.3. Thirteen were mapped to a region of an estimated size of 7 Mb with the help ...

Joseph A. Loy and Aaron J. Schechter, associates at Kirkland & Ellis, write that the Federal Circuit's decision in In re Fisher has broad implications for the future of the biotech industry and the ...

Whereas genome sequencing defines the genetic potential of an organism, transcript sequencing defines the utilization of this potential and links the genome with most areas of biology. To exploit the ...

Although the vast majority of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may never prove to be important medically or agriculturally, some could play an important role ...

The vascular tissue of higher plants consists of specialized cells that differ from all other cells with respect to their shape and size, their organellar composition, their extracellular matrix, the ...

J. Craig Venter is no stranger to contradiction and controversy. He seems to thrive on it. In 1991, when the National Institutes of Health was haggling over patenting expressed sequence tags (ESTs)--a ...

While scouring a new cDNA library, researchers in the Netherlands discovered 80 novel expressed-sequence tags, including 25 preferentially expressed in human fetal cochlea. 1 The researchers from the ...
