Gene expression can be analyzed across the entire genome using:

Answer: DNA microarray (gene chip).

  • A Southern blot
  • B DNA microarray (gene chip)
  • C PCR only
  • D Gel electrophoresis

Correct answer: B. DNA microarray (gene chip)

Explanation: DNA microarray: thousands of probes on a chip hybridize to cDNA from cells, allowing simultaneous measurement of expression of thousands of genes.
