Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short sequences of cDNA generated by sequencing one or both ends of an expressed gene. In the Human Genome Project (HGP), ESTs were used to identify genes that are actively expressed as RNA in a given tissue or cell type.
