Unigène

[invite6a6b1a73]

Bonjour,

Je voudrais savoir ce qu'es un unigène?
Je pensais que c'était une simple banque d'ADNc mais a priori c'est un peu plus subtil que ça.

Merci d'avance

Bonjour,

UniGene

UniGene is an NCBI database of the transcriptome and thus, despite the name, not primarily a database for genes. Each entry is a set of transcripts that appear to stem from the same transcription locus (i.e. gene or expressed pseudogene). Information on protein similarities, gene expression, cDNA clones, and genomic location is included with each entry.
