Question

siRNAs are used to “knockdown” gene expression in research. Imagine you are a scientist who hopes to study several genes related to cancer. Select all the scenarios you will be able to successfully use RNA interference with the use of siRNAs (select all that apply):

Group of answer choices
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to core promoter regions (e.g. TATA box) of tumor suppressor genes
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to the regulatory promoter regions (e.g. enhancers) of tumor suppressor genes
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to any region of the processed mRNA
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to the 5’ UTR of the processed mRNA
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to the 3’ UTR of the processed mRNA
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to sites where the histone acetyl transferase will acetylate the histones
Regulate transcript levels by targeting the siRNA to where the start codon is
