In Predicting Interactions Based on Gene Neighbors if a certain gene linkage is found to be indeed conserved across divergent genomes, it can be used as a strong indicator of formation of an operon that encodes proteins that are functionally and even physically coupled.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in a national level competition.Query is from Protein Interactions in division Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

The best I can EXPLAIN: This rule of predicting PROTEIN–protein interactions holds up for most prokaryotic genomes. For eukaryotic genomes, gene order may be a LESS potent PREDICTOR of protein interactions than a tight co-regulation for gene expression.
