Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • The Integrated Genomic and Mapping System (IGMS) is a comprehensive information system.
  • It integrates data from genomic sequences, genetic maps, and genetic disorder databases.
  • The system is updated weekly and focuses on expressed sequence tag (EST) data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify UniGene clusters differentially expressed in various cancer types compared to reference tissues.
  • To map ESTs with specific expression profiles.
  • To generate a database of alternative splice forms for nine organisms.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a comprehensive information system (IGMS) for data integration and analysis.
  • Analyzing expressed sequence tag (EST) data for differential gene expression.
