Send mail to hgi at tigr.org for HGI Comments/Questions .      TCs: Tentative Consensus sequences are created by assembling ESTs into  virtual transcripts. In some cases, TCs contain full or partial cDNA  sequences (ETs) obtained by classical methods. TCs contain information on  the source library and abundance of ESTs and in many cases represent  full-length transcripts. Alternative splice forms are built into separate  TCs. TCs are actual assemblies, with a consensus sequence, and not simply  clusters of overlapping sequences. Example TC.    ESTs: Expressed Sequence Tags are partial, single-pass sequences from  either end of a cDNA clone. The EST strategy was developed to allow rapid  identification of expressed genes by sequence analysis.    ETs: TIGR's Expressed Gene Anatomy Database (EGAD) contains a non-redundant  set of nucleotide sequences that represent mature transcripts (ETs). The  ETs are curated for nomenclature and cellular roles, and links have been  made to related accessions. Sequences were either loaded directly from  GenBank (cDNAs) or were derived from genomic sequences when cDNAs were not  available. Where available, 5' and 3' non-coding regions were included.  Alternative splice forms of genes are explicitly represented.    Singleton ESTs: Also refered to as singletons, are ESTs that are not  contained in an assembly. These ESTs went through the assembly process but  did not meet the match criteria (see below) to be assembled with any other  EST in the collection of ESTs and other GenBank sequences used to create  the consensus sequences for a particular Gene Index.    Protocol for Assembly of ESTs and Transcripts    Preparation of EST data Sequences were extracted from dbEST and were  subjected to quality control screening (vector, E. coli, polyA, T, or CT  removal, minimum length = 100 bp, < 3% N).    Preparation of non-redundant transcript (ET) database    All sequences from the appropriate division of GenBank were extracted.  Non-coding sequences were discarded and cDNAs and coding sequences from  genomic entries were saved. Redundant entries for the same gene were  removed, retaining link to accession number. Sequences and related  information are stored in TIGR's Expressed Gene Anatomy Database (EGAD).  The curated ET data set is available as a multiple FastA format file. See  the EGAD main page for more information.    Assembly    Cleaned EST sequences and non-redundant transcript (ET) sequences were  combined. Using the CAP3 Sequence Assembly Program sequences were assembled  into contigs. TCs are consensus sequences based on two or more ESTs (and  possibly an ET) that overlap for at least 40 bases with at least 95%  sequence identity. These strict criteria help minimize the creation of  chimeric contigs. These contigs are assigned a TC (Tentative Consensus)  number. TCs may comprise ESTs derived from different tissues. The best hits  for TC's were assigned by searching the TC set against a non-redundant  amino acid database(nraa) using a search method developed in house called  DNA-Protein Search, DPS (Microbial and Comparative Genomics, Vol 1, Number  4 1996). The top five hits based on score (cutoff value of 350) were  selected and displayed for each TC.    Caveats    TCs are only as good as the ESTs underlying them; there may be unspliced or  chimeric ESTs and thus TCs There is still redundancy in the TC set because  sequences must match end to end and at a certain percent identity to be  combined Directionality of the TCs should not be assumed Not all TCs  contain protein-coding regions
