CISMeF synonym : expressed sequence tag library;
NCIt definition : A random cDNA library comprised of 200-800 bp random pooled mRNA clones isolated from
a specific organism, specific tissue and/or a given stage of development. Clones are
randomly selected for single-pass sequencing reads, the raw sequence reads are processed
to remove low-quality sequence information and contaminating vector sequence and the
resulting higher-quality sequences can be aggregated and aligned with others to assemble
complete genetic or genomic sequences.;
