Expressed sequence tag (EST)

Expressed sequence tag (EST)

A partial coding sequence isolated at random from a cDNA library; like a sequence-tagged site for mapping genomic DNA, used as a landmark for identification and mapping of coding sequences, for discovery of new genes and, by reference to sequence data banks, for discovery of identities with other genes.
