Accurate cDNA data is useful to validate gene structures in a genome. We sequenced 35189 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) obtained from the highly destructive rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea. Our custom-made computational programs mapped these ESTs on the M. grisea genome sequence, and reconstructed gene structures as well as protein-coding regions. As a result, we predicted 4480 protein-coding sequences, which were more accurate than ab initio predictions. Moreover, cross-species comparisons suggested that our predicted proteins were nearly complete. The cDNA clones obtained in this study will be important for further experimental studies.
