The human genome project

The genome of male jack jumper ants consists of just one chromosome. The table below lists the different ways in which scientists sequenced this chromosome.

Approach	Description
$1$ ‍	Sequence the entire chromosome without differentiating between coding and non-coding regions
$2$ ‍	Identify and sequence only non-coding regions
$3$ ‍	Isolate mRNA and reverse transcribe to identify coding DNA regions
$4$ ‍	Digest the chromosome into fragments and only sequence the smallest ones

Which of the above approaches were also used in the Human Genome Project (HGP)?
