Abstract
Mapping of 583,053 EST originated from 382,787 full-length cDNA clones identified 29,642 transcription units (TU) on rice genome. Comparison of 57,535 TU originated from 59,712 predicted CDS revealed 25,249 of Annotated Expressed genes (AE), 32,286 of Annotated Non-expressed genes and 5132 of Non-annotated Expressed genes. InterPro analysis of the amino acid sequences of corresponding CDS showed that AE and NAE genes have the similar profiles to the profile of the completely sequenced 32,127 clones, while ANE genes have rare hit of InterPro domains and occupied by the domains related to the transposable elements.
