DNA microarrays have made a huge impact on genomic studies because they ________.
A) can be used to eliminate the function of any gene in the genome
B) can be used to introduce entire genomes into bacterial cells
C) allow the expression of many or even all of the genes in the genome to be compared at once
D) allow physical maps of the genome to be assembled in a very short time
E) dramatically enhance the efficiency of restriction enzymes (endonucleases)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA microarrays allow for the simultaneous comparison of gene expression for many or all genes in the genome. This has greatly facilitated genomic studies, providing insights into gene regulation, identifying disease markers, and advancing personalized medicine.
