As you found, there are several servers with both.
You need to take care over how the databases are linked. At the
Sanger Centre we link UNIGENE and DBEST using the CloneID rather than
the accession number. SRS only allows one link between databases.
You would need to use EMBL to get links by accession number.
We also have DBESTSEQ (the dbEST FASTA format sequences file) but
that currently has no direct link to UNIGENE.
