Question
Which of the following would be most effective for sequencing the exact 5’- end of an mRNAtranscript?A. PCRB. Primer extensionC. CloningD. Southern blotE. Linkage mapping
Solution
The most effective method for sequencing the exact 5’- end of an mRNA transcript would be B. Primer extension.
Here's why:
A. PCR: This method is used to amplify a specific region of DNA, but it does not provide information about the sequence.
B. Primer Extension: This method is used to map the 5' end of RNA transcripts. A primer is designed to hybridize to the RNA near the 5' end, and reverse transcriptase is used to extend the primer along the RNA template. The resulting cDNA can then be sequenced.
C. Cloning: This method is used to produce multiple copies of a gene, but it does not provide information about the sequence.
D. Southern Blot: This method is used to detect a specific DNA sequence in a DNA sample, but it does not provide information about the sequence.
E. Linkage Mapping: This method is used to map the location of a gene on a chromosome, but it does not provide information about the sequence.
