When authors discuss gene annotation, to what do they refer?
A) using DNA sequencing to detect genes of unknown function
B) gene expression measurements for all coding genes in a genome
C) comparison of conserved sequences
D) describing protein expression patters
E) use of computers to guess at gene location and function based on comparison to known genes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene annotation refers to the process of identifying the locations of genes and all of the coding regions in a genome and determining what those genes do. This often involves the use of computational tools to predict gene locations and functions by comparing sequences to those of known genes.
