The authors describe a powerful method (SAGE) for analyzing relative levels of virtually every transcript in the genome simultaneously by tabulating short sequence tags. The approach also allows comparisons to be made between expression levels of all genes in various growth states, such as mutant versus wild-type or disease versus normal.

The technique described in this paper describes a high-throughput approach to expression analysis which will be complementary to the approach in [11••]. This microarray technique has several genome applications, including rapid comparisons of expression between two different states and analysis of pools of deletion strains generated by the 'molecular tagging' approach created by Davis and co-workers (personal communication).
