Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 664,234, filed Sep. 17, 2003.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of gene and transcript expression and specifically to a method for the serial analysis of a large number of transcripts by identification of a gene signature (GIS) corresponding to defined regions within a transcript. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] One of the most important goals of the human genome project is to provide complete lists of genes for the genomes of human and model organisms. Complete genome annotation of genes relies on comprehensive transcriptome analysis by experimental and computational approaches. Ab initio predictions of genes must be validated by experimental data. An ideal solution is to clone all full-length transcripts and completely sequence them. This approach has gained recognition recently (Strausberg, R. L., et al., 1999, Science, 286: 455-457) and progress has been made (Jongeneel...
