Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Transcriptomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Genomic research increasingly focuses on annotating functional elements and transcribed regions.
  • Transcriptome research needs accurate, sequence-independent gene profiling methods.
  • Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) and similar short tag methods have advanced transcriptome studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent developments in short sequencing tag utilization for gene expression profiling.
  • To highlight the application of short tags in gene discovery and genome annotation.
  • To discuss the potential of 5' end-specific tags in systems biology and gene network studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on short sequencing tag methodologies.
  • Analysis of techniques obtaining tags from 5' mRNA ends, both mRNA termini, or genomic regions.
