In the methodology of the Human Genome Project, the blind approach of sequencing the whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequences, and later assigning functions to different regions is referred to as
Options
- AExpressed Sequence Tags
- BBioinformatics
- CSequence Annotation
- DDNA polymorphism
Correct answer
C. Sequence Annotation
Step-by-step solution
The Human Genome Project used two major approaches for sequencing the genome. The first approach focused on identifying all the genes that are expressed as RNA, which is referred to as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). The second approach was a blind approach of simply sequencing the whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequences, and later assigning different regions in the sequence with functions. This approach is referred to as Sequence Annotation. Answer: Sequence Annotation
