SAGE technique is a sequenced-based approach that identifies which genes are expressed and quantifies their level of expression. The SAGE catalog of gene expression for a given cell or tissue is defined as the 'transcriptome'. With a goal of obtaining a set of quantitative information of expressed genes of posterior silk gland (PSG) of silkworm, we have generated a SAGE tag library from the PSGat day 4 of 5th instars of Bombyx mori. In this study, atotal of 2,406 tags were identified, representing 682 unique transcripts. Of these SAGE tags, 1,982 tags were detected twice or more accounted for 82% of the total tag population, whereas 445 tags were detected only once accounted for 18% of the total tag population. Four percent (27 tags) of the unique tags were detected at least ten times each, which corresponds to a representation of more than 53% of the total tag population. In addition, we have discussed a comparative aspect of the transcript abundance between expressed sequenced tags (ESTs) and the SAGE tags.
