- Multiple Choice
SDS-PAGE is a method used to separate proteins by which of the following characteristics?
- Multiple Choice
Which of the following methods would be best to identify an amino acid sequence of a protein?
- Open Question
In this chapter, we focused on the analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes and considered important applications and findings from these endeavors. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?
How can proteomics identify differences between the number of protein-coding genes predicted for a genome and the number of proteins expressed by a genome? - Open Question
How do high-throughput techniques such as computer-automated, next-generation sequencing, and mass spectrometry facilitate research in genomics and proteomics? Explain.
- Open QuestionBased on the tree of life in Figure 16.12, would you expect human proteins to be more similar to fungal proteins or to plant proteins? Would you expect plant proteins to be more similar to fungal proteins or to human proteins?
- Open QuestionThe CBF genes of Arabidopsis are induced by exposure of the plants to low temperature.Can you design a method that would reveal these changes in gene expression in a way that a farmer could recognize them by observing plants growing in the field?
