- - The study focuses on sequencing the complete DNA of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), resulting in the creation of camel EST libraries with 70,272 reads and yielding 23,602 putative gene sequences, including over 4,500 potentially novel genes.
- - Functional annotation and analysis comparison to other species like humans and mice showed successful characterization, with over 80% of identified gene fragments having significant open reading frames (ORF) greater than 300 bp.
- - The research introduces an online resource called CAGBASE, which hosts a database of annotated EST sequences and provides tools for further genomic studies and whole genome sequencing of camels.
