Identification of unannotated exons of low abundance transcripts in Drosophila melanogasterand cloning of a new serine protease gene upregulated upon injury (2007)

Maia, Rafaela M, Valente, Valeria, Cunha, Marco AV, Sousa, Josane F, Araujo, Daniela D, Silva, Wilson A, ...

Abstract Background The sequencing of the D.melanogaster genome revealed an unexpected small number of genes (~ 14,000) indicating that mechanisms acting on generation of transcript diversity must...

The use of Open Reading frame ESTs (ORESTES) for analysis of the honey bee transcriptome (2004)

Nunes, Francis MF, Valente, Valeria, Sousa, Josane F, Cunha, Marco AV, Pinheiro, Daniel G, Maia, Rafaela M, ...

Abstract Background The ongoing efforts to sequence the honey bee genome require additional initiatives to define its transcriptome. Towards this end, we employed the Open Reading frame ESTs...
