Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Northern blot analysis and DNA microarray analysis are techniques specifically used to study RNA levels in cells, which is a direct measure of the transcriptome. Northern blotting allows for the detection of specific RNA molecules within a mixture, while DNA microarray analysis enables the simultaneous measurement of the expression levels of thousands of genes. LC-MS, X-ray crystallography, and NMR are valuable techniques in molecular biology and biochemistry but are not primarily used for transcriptome analysis.
