Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) refers to:
Certain important expressed genes
All genes that are expressed as RNA
All genes that are expressed as proteins
All genes whether expressed or unexpressed
According to the text regarding the Human Genome Project methodologies, one approach focused on identifying all the genes that are expressed as RNA, which is referred to as Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). The other approach, termed Sequence Annotation, involved sequencing the whole set of genome containing both coding and non-coding sequences.
