Multiple choice

In eukaryotes during gene expression, there are several methods to look at the various stages. Which one among the following does not characterises a gene expression in eukaryotes?

  1. Protein levels can be analysed by mass spectrometry.

  2. RNA degradation rates are measured by means of transcription inhibitors.

  3. Epistatic interactions can be investigated by splicing array.

  4. The local chromatin environment of the region can be determined by ChIP-chip analysis.

  5. Due to post-transcriptional regulation, transcription rates and total RNA levels differ significantly.

Explanation

Alternative splicing can be analysed with a splicing array or with a tiling array. Epistatic interactions can be investigated by synthetic genetic array analysis.
