Nice

It seems to me that DNA microarrays are used EVALUATE COMPARATIVE diffences in gene TRANSCRIPTION LEVELS, and not to DETERMINE GENE EXPRESSION. The nuance may be subtle... Also, it would be a good idea to explain from where and when a value of 6 million known ESTs as been approximated.

Another topic of interest : Being derived from mRNAs by retro-transcription, are poly-A primers used or random ones? Does it mean that there can be introns in the sequences (as if the cDNAs were obtained from non-spliced mRNAs) as well as 3' and 5' untranslated regions?

Very good article. Marooned Morlock (talk | contribs) 08:48, 11 May 2006

Patents on EST's

Does anyone have any thoughts on adding to this article information on patent requests on EST's by various BioTech companies? I do recall a story done on a major TV newsmagazine, possibly 20/20 or 60 Minutes, but it was some time ago and I haven't heard much from the mainstream news recently on this. Google produces a significant number of results for the search +patent +gene, but is there enough referenceable info to warrant a separate article for this topic?

If you don't know the technique, you won't understand it by reading this article. --85.179.34.104 (talk) 11:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page needs updating

There's still a section stating "as of 2006", surely this means the page needs a freshening up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louismaddox (talk • contribs) 05:07, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
