Background:

  • Understanding porcine reproduction is crucial for biological insights and economic value.
  • The Midwest Consortium generated cDNA libraries from key female reproductive tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a comprehensive database of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from porcine reproductive tissues.
  • To identify novel porcine genes and facilitate comparative mapping with human genomes.

Main Methods:

  • Sequencing of 21,499 3' ESTs from female reproductive tissues.
  • Bioinformatic analysis for gene identification, novelty assessment, and human homology.
  • Development of software for comparative mapping and localization of porcine genes.
