I've seen this done, but haven't a clue as to how to proceed. I thought
it would be a fairly common application for gene mappers. A look at
GeneMap 99 will show you that most of the genes mapped are undocumented
ESTs. I need to correlate the tissue specificity data in dbEST to
hundreds of these mapped ESTs. The GeneMap web interface lists their
own ID for each EST, and only gives an accession number if you drill
down through the link for each one. I've the idea that if I can get the
EST data from GeneMap into a table I can sort that with the tissue
specificity query results from dbEST using Access. Is there a way I can
obtain a table of GeneMap EST data with accession numbers? Is there a
better way of going about this? I would have thought that this task was
fairly standard.
Thanks,
