Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) refers to:

Options

  1. AThe sequences that are synthesized from the mRNA
  2. BPolypeptide expression
  3. CDNA Polymorphism
  4. DThe novel DNA sequences

Correct answer

A. The sequences that are synthesized from the mRNA

Step-by-step solution

ESTs are short cDNA sequences, that are synthesized from the mRNA and used to identify gene transcripts. These sequences are used in gene discovery and in gene-sequence determination (Human genome project).
