EST data can be searched and retrieved using the following methods:
Gene Ontology
Browser
Search the database by entering a keyword to retrieve Gene
Ontology recognized terms, and then view Butterfly EST annotation for each of those
terms. The Gene Ontology Consortium documentation
is available at GO documentation.
Sequence ID
Enter an EST ID, GENBANK accession ID, or Contig ID to retrieve and download
the sequences, view the sequence chromatograph, view the contig structure and
the view the sequence annotation.
Gene Association
Search the database by entering a Sequence ID or Human
Unigene Number or Gene Symbol to retrieve annotated ESTs for that ID.
Search by BLAST
Cut and paste one or more sequences to BLAST against several EST data sets.
EST Annotations
Search by description: Enter a familiar gene or protein name or descriptive term, to look for closely
related sequences in the butterfly EST collection. This function allows the searching on the description
field of all records retrieved from the BLAST comparisons used in annotation.
Contig Viewer
Enter a contig id to view the consensus sequences that match with it.
