Which analytical technique does NOT help illuminate a gene's cellular function?
A) DNA microarray analysis
B) protein chip analysis
C) Southern blotting
D) two-dimensional gel electrophoresis
E) two-hybrid analysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Southern blotting is a technique used for detecting the presence of a specific DNA sequence in a sample. It is not directly used to illuminate a gene's cellular function but rather to detect its presence or absence. The other techniques listed (DNA microarray analysis, protein chip analysis, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and two-hybrid analysis) help to elucidate a gene's function by analyzing gene expression, protein-protein interactions, and protein function.
