Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel method of identifying cDNA's which encode secreted and membrane-bound proteins. The present invention also relates to a novel method for preparing cDNA libraries enriched for signal sequences. The methods of the invention provide for an improved signal sequence detection system which results, when compared to the prior art, in a greater number of correctly identified signal sequences and less total time required to complete the procedure.
