Which of the following is untrue regarding SAGE?(a) It stands for Serial analysis of gene expression(b) It is another high throughput, sequence-based approach for global gene expression profile analysis(c) It stands for Squared analysis of gene expression(d) Unlike EST sampling, SAGE is more quantitative in determining mRNA expression in a cellThe question was posed to me during an online interview.My question is based upon Sequence in division Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (C) It stands for Squared analysis of gene expression

The explanation is: In this method, SHORT fragments of DNA (usually 15 base pairs [bp]) are excised from cDNA sequences and used as UNIQUE markers of the gene transcripts. The sequence fragments are termed tags. They are subsequently concatenated (linked together), cloned, and sequenced.
