A subtracted cDNA library from the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryonic inner ear.

ABSTRACT: A database was built that consists of 4694 sequence contigs of approximately 18,000 reads of cDNAs isolated from the microdissected otocysts of zebrafish embryos at 20-30 hour postfertilization, following subtraction with a pool of liver cDNAs from adult fish. These sequences were compared with those of public databanks. Significant similarity were recorded and organized in a relational database at http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/zie. A first group of 2067 sequences correspond to 1428 known zebrafish genes or ESTs present in the Danio rerio section of UniGene. A second group of 302 sequences encode putative proteins that showed significant similarity (50%-100%) with 302 nonzebrafish proteins in the nr databank, a public databank containing an exhaustive nonredundant collection of protein seque
