A)Chromosome maps and STSs
B)BLAST and ENCODE data
C)Gene linkage data
D)Microarrays and SAGE

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosome maps and STSs would provide specific physical locations of genes and markers on the baboon genome, allowing for the construction of a physical map. BLAST and ENCODE data provide information on gene function and regulation, but are not directly relevant to constructing a physical map. Gene linkage data can also be helpful, but chromosome maps and STSs are considered more essential. Microarrays and SAGE are tools for gene expression analysis, and thus are not directly applicable to constructing a physical map.
