dbEST is a division of GenBank that contains sequence data and other information on "single-pass" cDNA sequences, or "Expressed Sequence Tags", from a number of organisms. Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short (usually about 300-500 bp), single-pass sequence reads from mRNA (cDNA). Typically they are produced in large batches. They represent a snapshot of genes expressed in a given tissue and/or at a given developmental stage. They are tags (some coding, others not) of expression for a given cDNA library. Most EST projects develop large numbers of sequences. These are commonly submitted to GenBank and dbEST as batches of dozens to thousands of entries, with a great deal of redundancy in the citation, submitter and library information. To improve the efficiency of the submission process for this type of data, we have designed a special streamlined submission process and data format. dbEST also includes sequences that are longer than the traditional ESTs, or are produced as single sequences or in small batches. Among these sequences are products of differential display experiments and RACE experiments. The thing that these sequences have in common with traditional ESTs, regardless of length, quality, or quantity, is that there is little information that can be annotated in the record. If a sequence is later characterized and annotated with biological features such as a coding region, 5'UTR, or 3'UTR, it should be submitted through the regular GenBank submissions procedure (via BankIt or Sequin), even if part of the sequence is already in dbEST. dbEST is reserved for single-pass reads. Assembled sequences should not be submitted to dbEST. GenBank will accept assembled EST submissions for the forthcoming TSA (Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly) division. The individual reads which make up the assembly should be submitted to dbEST, the Trace archive or the Short Read Archive (SRA) prior to the submission of the assemblies.

>>>!!!<<< OMICtools is no longer online >>>!!!<<< We founded OMICtools in 2012 with the vision to drive progress in life science. We wanted to empower life science practitioners all over the world to achieve breakthroughs by getting data to talk. While we made tremendous progress over the past three years, developing a bioinformatics database of software and dynamic protocols, attracting more than 1.5M visitors a year, we lacked the financial support we needed to continue. We certainly gave it our all. We'd like to thank everyone who believed in us and supported us on this journey: all our users, our community, our friends, families and employees (who we consider as our extended family!). omicX will probably shut down its operations within the next few weeks. The team and I remain firmly committed to our vision, particularly at this very difficult time. It is now, more than ever before, that researchers need access to a resource that pools collective scientific intelligence. We have accumulated an awful lot of experience which we are keen to share. If your institution would be interested in taking over our website and database, to provide researchers with continued access to the platform, or you simply want to stay in touch with the omicX team, contact us at contact@omictools.com or at carine.toutain@fhbx.eu.
