Expressed sequence tag
An expressed sequence tag or EST is a short sub-sequence of a transcribed protein-coding or non-protein coding DNA sequence.
Expressed sequence tag (EST) is STS derived from cDNA.

Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs)
ESTs are short (200-500 nucleotides) DNA sequences that can be used to identify a gene that is being expressed in a cell at a particular time.

Expressed sequence tag (EST)
A short strand of DNA that is a part of a cDNA molecule and can act as identifier of a gene. Used in locating and mapping genes.
