  1. Each of the hamster ESTs was compared against public sequence databases using BLAST. Each clone was then functionally classified based on the results of these searches. The number of unique fragments belonging to gene in each functional category is listed first, followed in parentheses by the total number of unique genes represented once the occurrence of multiple fragments from the same gene is accounted for.
