Plot of the 5′ ends of ESTs for the genes GRA1, SAG1, MIC2, and SRS2. The majority of ESTs correspond to the extreme 5′ end of the transcripts reflecting the fact that the libraries contain primary full-length cDNAs. A strong premature stop is evident in GRA1, 400 bp downstream, and, in the RH library only, for SRS2 at 1300 bp downstream of the 5′-most ends. For the abundantly expressed genes, it is also possible to reconstruct an entire gene based on overlapping cDNAs.
