Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) refers to:
All genes that are expressed as RNA.
All genes that are expressed as proteins.
All genes whether expressed or unexpressed.
Certain important expressed genes.
To solve this problem, we need to understand what Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) refer to.ESTs are short sub-sequences of cDNA (complementary DNA) sequences.They are generated by sequencing either one or both ends of an expressed gene.The primary purpose of ESTs is to identify gene transcripts, which are expressed as RNA.ESTs are used to locate and map genes that are actively expressed in a cell or tissue.Based on this understanding, ESTs refer to all genes that are expressed as RNA.Therefore, the correct option is Option 1: All genes that are expressed as RNA.
