Sucest-Fun Project
The largest collection of Sugarcane ESTs was generated by SUCEST, a large consortium of Brazilian researchers who sequenced approximately 238,000 ESTs from 26 diverse cDNA libraries (Vettore et al. 2003). A Functional Genomics phase of the project followed the initial sequencing effort and a database was created to integrate sequences, gene expression data, gene categories and data mining tools which may allow comprehensive acceess to sugarcane genomics resources.
