A) STSs
B) ORIs
C) PCRs
D) STRs
E) ESTs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) are repeating DNA sequences that differ in length between individuals and are used for DNA profiling. Original Research Articles (ORIs) are scientific papers reporting new research findings. Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCRs) are a laboratory technique used to amplify small amounts of DNA. Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short pieces of DNA sequence that represent expressed genes. Therefore, the correct answer is STSs, which are short unique anchor sequences used to correlate physical, genetic, and cytological maps of chromosomes.
