Medicago truncatula Transcriptome or Gene expression. Medicago truncatula

M. truncatula EST sequencing project was started at the Center for Medicago Genomics Research which was created at the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation with an aim to do large scale EST and genome sequencing, and functional analysis of M. truncatula genome. National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) helped with the bioinformatics part of the project. An EST sequence database, MGI, is available as a result of this collabrative effort. Functional Genomics part of the project was funded by an NSF grant Genoscope has sequenced ESTs from three cDNA libraries derived from young root nodules.

蒺藜苜蓿（M. truncatula）表达序列标签（Expressed Sequence Tag，EST）测序项目由塞缪尔·罗伯茨·诺布尔基金会设立的蒺藜苜蓿基因组研究中心启动，旨在开展该物种基因组的大规模EST与基因组测序，并进行功能分析。美国国家基因组资源中心（National Center for Genome Resources, NCGR）与弗吉尼亚生物信息学研究所（Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, VBI）为该项目提供了生物信息学技术支撑。本次协同合作催生了一款名为MGI的EST序列数据库。本项目的功能基因组学部分由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）资助，热纳斯科普（Genoscope）完成了来自三个幼根瘤cDNA文库的EST测序工作。
