Q. An important development for computational purposes was the decision by Craig Venter to prepare databases of partial sequences of the expressed genes, called expressed sequence tags or ESTs.

View solution

Q. The translated sequence can then be compared to a database of protein sequences with the hope of finding a strong similarity to a protein of known function, and hence to identify the function of the cloned EST.
