a researcher isolates mRNA from a healthy and diseased liver biopsies. each mRNA sample is converted into cDNA and subjected to next generation sequencing. select all statements that describe this experiment and the possible results the researcher can identify transcripts
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
a researcher isolates mRNA from a healthy and diseased liver biopsies. each mRNA sample is converted into cDNA and subjected to next generation sequencing. select all statements that describe this experiment and the possible results
the researcher can identify transcripts that are more abundant in healthy liver than In diseased liver, which are candidate genes for further study
the researcher can identify transcripts that are less abundant in healthy liver than In diseased liver, which are candidate genes for further study
this is a RNA-Seq experiment
this is a DNA microarray analysis
Some genes transcripts may be present in both samples but have different splice forms in healthy and diseased liver.
the intron sequences will be more abundant in the diseased liver samples.
The researcher should have combined the healthy and diseased mRNA samples before making cDNA, so that only one sample would need to be sequnced
