" Interpreting the results of an RNA-Seq analysis is pivotal in understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms of diseases such as breast cancer. In this analysis, Figure 1 provides comprehensive data on differentially expressed genes associated with breast cancer. By delving into the provided information, we can gain valuable insights into the molecular landscape of this disease. First focus is on the gene with the highest fold change, EYA4, situated on chromosome 6. With a staggering fold change of 3604.4176, EYA4 exhibits an unprecedented level of overexpression in cancerous cells compared to normal cells. This profound alteration suggests a pivotal role for EYA4 in breast cancer pathogenesis. The log2 fold change of 11.81555 further emphasizes the magnitude of this difference in gene expression. Statistical significance is evident, with an exceptionally low p-value of…arrow_forward
- You are studying a large eukaryotic gene that is 439,515 base pairs long. You find the polypeptide that this gene produces in liver cells is 46,771 amino acids long. Your colleague studies the function of this gene in brain cells, and finds the polypeptide produced in the brain is much larger – 61,438 amino acids long. How do you explain this difference? Possible Answers: A. The cell cycle of liver cells is much longer than that of brain cells. B. This is due to alternative splicing. in the brain C. There was a different complement of sequence-specific transcription factor binding sites in the CRM of the brain cells. D. There is no 5' cap added to the gene product from the liver cells.arrow_forwardPeople who carry a theoretical genetic disorder (called B-disease) can be identified from a 2kb DNA sequence.
