In addition, several computational tools, which aim to organize the data resulting from these technologies, have been created. The ability of these tools to organize the information into biologically meaningful results, however, needs to be stringently tested. The research contained herein focuses on data produced by technology that records short Expressed Sequence Tags (EST's).enAlgorithm testingDataset developmentThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
