TL;DR: This is the first genome sequence of a model eukaryotic parasite, and it provides insight into the use of such systems in the modelling of Plasmodium biology and disease.

TL;DR: The TIGR Gene Indices are a collection of species-specific databases that use a highly refined protocol to analyze EST sequences in an attempt to identify the genes represented by that data and to provide additional information regarding those genes.

TL;DR: Using hierarchal and k means clustering of the EST sequences, changes in gene expression with major physiological events in potato biology are correlated and genes with tuber initiation, dormancy, and sprouting are associated.

TL;DR: The TIGR Orthologous Gene Alignment database is developed to provide a cross-reference between fully and partially sequenced eukaryotic transcribed sequences to identify putative orthologs and paralogs for known genes, as well as those that exist only as uncharacterized ESTs.

TL;DR: A high quality cDNA library of the Plasmodium sporozoite stage is constructed by using the rodent malaria parasite P. yoelii, an important model for malaria vaccine development and ESTs for three proteins that may be involved in host cell invasion are identified and documented their expression in sporozoites.
