Research Abstract

Using full-length cDNA library made by our Oligo-capping method as the technological base, we made large cDNA resource as well as transcriptome map of various organism with the collaboration with the Priority area of "Systems Genomics" and "Comparative Genomics". At the same time, we developed a method for genome wide identification of the transcriptional start sites and for measurement of it strength in semi-quantitative manner, by combining Oligo-capping method with second generation sequencers.
