Q. Consider the following statements: (A) Expressed sequence tags are the genes that expressed as RNA. (B) In sequence annotation, functions are assigned to different coding and non-coding sequences in the genome. Select the correct option.
A) Both A and B are true
B) A is true, B is false
C) Both A and B are false
D) A is false, B is true
Explanation
Expressed sequence tags and sequence annotation are two different methods of sequencing the genome. In the former, particular genes that expressed as RNA are identified and sequenced while in latter case, whole genome is sequenced first, followed by assigning the functions to different regions in the sequence.
