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,
