Validation of a novel expressed sequence tag (EST) clustering method and development of a phylogenetic annotation pipeline for livestock gene families

Prediction of functions of genes in a genome is a key step in all genome sequencing projects. Sequences that carry out important functions are likely to be conserved between evolutionarily distant species and can be identified using cross-species comparisons. In the absence of completed genomes and...
