Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs)allow Researchers to Identify

Question

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs)allow researchers to identify
A) genes that encode proteins.
B) microsatellites.
C) ribosomal RNA genes.
D) introns.
E) ring chromosomes.

Accepted Answer

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are short fragments of cDNA (complementary DNA) that represent expressed genes. By sequencing these fragments, researchers can identify the genes that encode proteins.
