The first two letters of the est identify who sequenced it. And finally the web site which found it for me was: Go to the Entrez website: http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/nucleotide.html Type in the name of the EST you need - it will give you a database record with information about whom to contact to get the clone + its sequence etc. Many thanks for your advice! david bell On 15 Nov 1997 10:27:50 -0800, David R Bell wrote: :>Hi ! :>I recently found a c. elegans est which was similar to a :>mammalian gene, and I am now looking for the cDNA clone :>for this EST. .
