+Pkg-Description: Software suite for expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing
+ The est_db package is a software suite and database system designed
+ to support expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing projects, and to
+ provide comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of sequenced EST
+ libraries, for gene discovery and other purposes. The database can
+ hold and efficiently process hundreds of thousands of EST sequences,
+ track the cDNA libraries and clones to which they belong, and store
+ the results of their analysis. Should they be available, large
+ compute farms can be used for the analysis.
+ .
+ Extensive bioinformatic analysis can be carried out on the sequenced
+ EST libraries, including similarity (BLAST) searches, protein
+ sequence prediction, and the import of EST clustering and assembly
+ data from external sources. Results are searchable via a web page,
+ with graphic output of the various analyses, enabling one to retrieve
+ information pertaining to a particular cDNA clone, or EST read, as
+ well as view EST clustering results, or graphical representations of
+ BLAST results on the searched EST sequences.
+ .
+ The est_db package is likely to appeal not only to sequencing groups
+ directly employed in EST sequencing, but also to groups interested in
+ performing bespoke analysis of ESTs that may already be publically
+ available, in order to support their ongoing research aims. The
+ package is easily-extensible, via an API designed specifically to
+ handle ESTs and their analysis. It is open source and is made
+ available free of charge, and, where possible, similarly
+ open-licensed components have been used in its development.
