C)ESTs.
D)STS markers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BLAST data is not useful for constructing a physical map of a genome as it is used for sequence alignment and comparison, rather than determining the physical location of genes and markers on chromosomes. The other three options (A, C, and D) are commonly used for physical mapping purposes. BAC end sequences are used to anchor large DNA fragments and create contiguous physical maps. ESTs, or expressed sequence tags, provide information on the transcribed regions of the genome and aid in gene mapping. STS markers, or sequence-tagged sites, are DNA markers that are associated with specific genomic regions and can be used for mapping and identification of genes.
