Abstract
Expressed sequence tag sequences remain the largest resource of DNA sequence for most organisms despite recent advances in genome sequencing. These sequences are short, fragmented versions of the expressed genes. By DNA sequence assembly, the fragments can be assembled into contiguous DNA sequences that are better suited for protein identification by mass spectrometry.
