Selection and sequence determination of cDNA clones from full-length cDNA library. A total of 19,968 full-length cDNA clones of common wheat were sequenced from both ends. End sequences were assembled with the Phrap method. The assembled sequences were then clustered with the blastn method. These contigs might correspond to homoeologues. Subsequently, these contigs were grouped into independent gene clusters with the blastn method. Finally, the longest sequences from each gene cluster were selected for complete sequencing.
