#126634 Difference between EST and cDNA?

Posted Felipillo on 06 January 2012 - 04:38 PM

I am wondering how is it generated?
ESTs are generated by sequencing cDNA, which itself is synthesized from the mRNA molecules in a cell

So what is the difference of the two?
EST's are small sequences generated from sequencing cDNA, but only a small portion, this can be used as a sign to identify the gene and does not reveal the whole gene sequence as cDNA does
