Plant Pathogen Transcript Assemblies

The clustering of ESTs and construction of plant pathogen transcript assemblies (TAs) is very similar to the TIGR gene indices. Both of them use the TGI clustering tools (available at http://www.tigr.org/tdb/tgi/software/)for the sequence screen and cleaning, cluster, and assembly. However, there are several differences to be highlighted here:

  1. TAs are the assemblies of the expressed sequences from dbEST (EST) and GenBank (cDNA), and those "virtual" transcript sequences derived from genomic sequences are excluded.
  2. The TA clusters are assembled into the consensus sequences by the program CAP3 rather than Paracel Transcript Assembler.
  3. More stringent criteria are applied in the construction of TAs: 50 bp minimum match, 95% minimum identity in the overlap region, 20 bp maximum unmatched overhang.

Plant pathogen TA identifiers are of the form TA#_####, where # is the number of the transcript assembly and _#### represents the taxon id from NCBI
