Question

1 pts Question 5 To determine whether regulation of gene expression by siRNA was a naturally phenomenon, researchers isolated RNA from a cell occurring and fractionated them by size to obtain small RNAs. The next step was to clone these molecules. Today the cloning step would not be required. Which of the techniques below is the best reason why? O Because a microarray could tell if the fragments were encoded by the genome. O Because a PCR reaction could tell if the fragments were encoded by the genome. Because an RNA seq reaction could tell if the fragments were encoded by the genome Because a yeast 2 hybrid could tell if the fragments were encoded by the genome. n Because a GFP fusion could tell if the fragments were encoded by the genome.

Explanation / Answer

5. DNA microarray technology and RNA seq reactions are versatilie technologies and high plex technologies.
