Molecular cell biology Microarray Analysis What is DNA Microarray? Go to the above website and click on microarray to begin. It is broken into 3 chapters. The Chapter 3 is the experiment. After going through all the steps in this virtual lab, you will write a research paper using all the parts of scientific method: 55 points
1. Hypothesis,
2. Methodology,
3. Data observed and
4. Results used in the experiment.
Answer all the questions: 45 points Hint: All these answers are available in virtual lab.
1. What causes cancer?
2. Why doesn't DNA stay in solution?
3. How does buffer detach mRNA from beads?
4. Why RNA is extracted from cancer and healthy cell?
5. Why do we need to make cDNA copy? Why don't we use just mRNA?
6. What is reverse transcriptase?
7. What RNA is responsible for gene expression?
8. You are a researcher interested in studying genes that have increased level of activity in skin cancer cells. What color should you choose to study skin cancer cells?
9. Gene 4263 is turned up in skin cancer cell. It produces protein product whose product is to turn down the expression of several other genes what color are the spots that turned down by 4263?
