A research team working on a genome project decides to focus their efforts exclusively on identifying all the genes that are transcribed into RNA, while ignoring the non-coding regions. According to the methodologies established during the Human Genome Project, this strategy is known as:

Step-by-step solution

The methodologies of the Human Genome Project involved two major approaches. One approach focused on identifying all the genes that are expressed as RNA. This approach is referred to as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). The other approach was a blind approach of simply sequencing the whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different regions in the sequence with functions. This is referred to as Sequence Annotation. Since the research team focuses exclusively on i
