Abstract

Single-run Partial cDNA sequencing was conducted on 1,592 randomly selected human fetal liver cDNA clones of Korean origin to isolate novel genes related to liver functions. Each partial cDNA sequence determined was analyzed by comparing it with the databases. GenBank, Protein Information Resource (PIR) and SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence Data Bank. From a set of 1.592 cDNA clones reported here, 1,433 (90.0% of the total) were informative cDNA sequences. The other 159 clones were identified as DNA sequences which had originated from the cloning vector. Among 1,433 informative partial cDNA sequences, 851 (59.3%) clones were revealed to be identical to known human genes. These known genes have been classified into 225 different kinds of genes. In addition, 340 clones (23.7%) showed various degrees of homology to previously known human genes. Ninety four (6.6%) clones contained various repeated sequences. Twenty four (1.7%) partial cDNA sequences were found to have considerable homology to known genes from evolutionarily distant organism such as yeast, rice, Arabidopsis, mouse and rat, based on database matches, whereas 124 (8.7%) had no Significant matches. Human homologues to functionally characterized genes from different organisms could be classified as candidates for novel human genes of similar functions. Information from the partial cDNA sequences in this study may facilitate the analysis of genes expressed in human fetal liver.
