Mining microsatellite markers from public expressed sequence tags databases for the study of threatened plants.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Microarrays have revolutionized breast cancer (BC) research by enabling studies of gene expression on a transcriptome-wide scale. Recently, RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has emerged as an alternative for precise readouts of the transcriptome. To date, no study has compared the ability of the two technologies to q...
