Global sequence and chip study examines eukaryotic transcription
See the Press Release for an overview.

Data Access in GeneDB:
RNAs from this project can be retrieved from here. (Note, all non coding RNAs can be retrieved from here.) New genes found and genes removed as a result of this project are here ("Solexa prediction" in the description field). Coordinate changes resulting from this project are found here ("Solexa" in comment field). All other data is provided in supplemental data in the paper (PMID:18488015) or can be retreived from array express. The high-resolution view of transcripts in context can be accessed from each gene page under the link to TranscriptomeViewer in the Published Expression Profiles section of the page (example).
