Explanation / Answer

Match the techniques to solve the following specific problems:

a. Determine if gene A is in an open chromatin (actively transcribed). - DNA footprint

b. If gene B DNA is methylated. - HpaII restriction digestion and running a gel

c. Remove or reduce the function of gene A from an organism- RNAi

d. If where nucleosomes are binding to the piece of DNA - Chromatin immunoprecipitation

e. The relationship between gene A and gene B in a pathway -  Construct double mutants

f. If cells have decided to commit suicide due to unrepaired UV damage - Tunnel Assay
