The methodology used in human genome sequencing that took the blind approach of simply sequencing the
whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different
regions in the sequence with functions, is called as:
1. Expressed sequence tag
2. Sequence annotation
3. Chain termination
4. Physical mapping

In DNA fingerprinting involving Southern blot hybridisation using radiolabelled VNTR as a probe, the correct chronology of steps between isolation of DNA [first step] and detection of hybridised DNA fragments by autoradiography [last step] is:
| 1. | separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe |
| 2. | digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases →separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe |
| 3. | separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon |
