Abstract
Many plant ESTs have been sequenced as an alternative to whole genome sequences, including peanut because of the genome
size and complexity. The US peanut research community had the historic 2004 Atlanta Genomics Workshop and named the EST
project as a main priority. As of August 2011, the peanut research community had deposited 252,832 ESTs in the public NCBI
EST database, and this resource has been providing the community valuable tools and core foundations for various genome-scale
experiments before the whole genome sequencing project. These EST resources have been used for marker development, gene
cloning,microarray gene expression and genetic map construction. Certainly, the peanut EST sequence resources have been shown
to have a wide range of applications and accomplished its essential role at the time of need. Then the EST project contributes to the
second historic event, the Peanut Genome Project 2010 Inaugural Meeting also held in Atlanta where it was decided to sequence
the entire peanut genome. After the completion of peanut whole genome sequencing, ESTs or transcriptome will continue to play
an important role to fill in knowledge gaps, to identify particular genes and to explore gene function.
