A frequently asked questions ( FAQ ) list is often used in articles, websites, email lists , and online forums where common questions tend to recur, for example through posts or queries by new users related to common knowledge gaps. The purpose of a FAQ is generally to provide information on frequent questions or concerns; however, the format is a useful means of organizing information, and text consisting of questions and their answers may thus be called a FAQ regardless of whether the questions are actually frequently asked.
12-518: LRG may refer to: Science and technology [ edit ] Locus Reference Genomic , DNA sequence format Luminous red galaxy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Education [ edit ] LRG University of Applied Sciences , Switzerland Companies and organisations [ edit ] Land Rover Group , a former division of auto manufacturer British Leyland and later
24-457: A list of questions and answers, introduced as "Certaine Queries answered ...". Many old catechisms are in a question-and-answer (Q&A) format. Summa Theologica , written by Thomas Aquinas in the second half of the 13th century, is a series of common questions about Christianity to which he wrote a series of replies. The "FAQ" is an Internet textual tradition originating from the technical limitations of early mailing lists from NASA in
36-452: A single list of questions as a "FAQ", such as on Google Search , while using "FAQs" to denote multiple lists of questions such as on United States Treasury sites. Use of "FAQ" to refer to a single frequently asked question, in and of itself, is less common. While the name may be recent, the FAQ format itself is quite old. For example, Matthew Hopkins wrote The Discovery of Witches in 1648 as
48-411: Is a DNA sequence format that was developed to aid in curating locus specific databases (LSDBs) that record DNA sequence variation which can result in inherited diseases. LRGs have fixed sequences that are independent of the genome so that they provide a stable framework for reporting variants. The LRG format uses extensible markup language ( XML ) to provide highly structured single records containing
60-514: The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The LRG homepage provides access to existing LRG sequences and allows the submission of requests for the creation of new LRGs. This page also has a frequently asked questions ( FAQs ) section. FAQ Since the acronym FAQ originated in textual media, its pronunciation varies. FAQ can be pronounced as an initialism , "F-A-Q", or as an acronym , "FAQ". Web designers often label
72-592: The Rover Group Lifted Research Group , a clothing manufacturer Limited Run Games LRG Capital Funds LRG Capital Group LRG Racing Ludlow Research Group Other [ edit ] Lairg railway station , Scotland, by National Rail code Littoral Response Group , an amphibious task group of the Royal Navy Topics referred to by the same term [REDACTED] This disambiguation page lists articles associated with
84-520: The accumulated FAQs across all Usenet newsgroups sparked the creation of the "*.answers" moderated newsgroups such as comp.answers, misc.answers and sci.answers for crossposting and collecting FAQ across respective comp.*, misc.*, sci.* newsgroups. The FAQ has become an important component of websites, either as a stand-alone page or as a website section with multiple subpages per question or topic. Embedded links to FAQ pages have become commonplace in website navigation bars, bodies, or footers. The FAQ page
96-651: The early 1980s. The first FAQ developed over several pre-Web years, starting from 1982 when storage was expensive. On ARPANET 's SPACE mailing list, the presumption was that new users would download archived past messages through FTP . In practice this rarely happened, and the users tended to post questions to the mailing list instead of searching its archives. Repeating the "right" answers became tedious, and went against developing netiquette . A series of different measures were set up by loosely affiliated groups of computer system administrators, from regularly posted messages to netlib -like query email daemons . The acronym FAQ
108-410: The first daily FAQ. In some cases, informative documents not in the traditional FAQ style have also been described as FAQs, particularly the video game FAQ, which is often a detailed description of gameplay, including tips, secrets, and beginning-to-end guidance. Rarely are videogame FAQs in a question-and-answer format, although they may contain a short section of questions and answers. Over time,
120-667: The genomic DNA sequence for individual genes along with the mRNAs and proteins encoded by these genes. LRG records are recommended in the Human Genome Variation Society Nomenclature guidelines as reference sequences to report sequence variants in LSDBs and the literature. The LRG concept was developed by the GEN2PHEN project in conjunction with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and

SECTION 10
#1732854667272144-527: Was developed between 1982 and 1985 by Eugene Miya of NASA for the SPACE mailing list. The format was then picked up on other mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups . Posting frequency changed to monthly, and finally weekly and daily across a variety of mailing lists and newsgroups. The first person to post a weekly FAQ was Jef Poskanzer to the Usenet net.graphics / comp.graphics newsgroups . Eugene Miya experimented with
