Assignment:
You provide the results back to your colleague and mutually agree this has been a rewarding collaboration.
You go onto ponder how there are likely more differentially expressed sequences between the green color state vs. purple color state than just the one sequence explored.
Your colleague agrees and suggests, together, we should continue doing work.
You agree and quickly think that microarrays might be one possible way to proceed.
Question Series
Question a. Although capable of measuring expression for tens of thousands of genes simultaneously, what is a well understood restriction of microarray technology?
Question b. Given the plant species you have is novel, what would you need to do in order to leverage and use this technology? Would you not use? Or, what could you do to use?
Question c. If provided microarrays capable of measuring gene expression in the plant species you have, what are the experiment and analysis steps involved, given samples of plant collected in the green state and samples collected in the purple state, to determine what genes have differential expression significantly associated with change in color?
