Fire and Mello conducted an experiment where they added no gene X RNA (b), anti-sense gene X RNA (c) or double stranded gene X RNA (d) to C. elegans embryos. They then did a hybridization experiment examining gene X mRNA levels in the embryo. Imagine this experiment was a protein X western blot (using an anti-X antibody) instead of a hybridization experiment. Describe the expected results.

Respuesta :

not sure i would help but you know man i just need to get these answers for school k thanks bye :)

If this experiment was a protein X western blot (using an anti-X antibody) instead of a hybridization experiment then:-

  • The targeted proteins will be detected with the help of anti-X antibody.
  • There will be no blocking of m- RNA called the phenomenon of RNA interference.

What was Mello and Fire experiment?

  • They detected that double-stranded RNA can silence genes that this RNA interference is specific for the gene whose code matches that of the injected RNA molecule.
  • The RNA interference can spread between cells and even be inherited.
