You are studying the response of macrophages infected with the intracellular bacterium Brucella ,specifically by examining which gene products are being expressed.You would be studying the macrophage ________ to obtain this information. A)proteome B)genome C)transciptome D)amplicon E)metabolome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transcriptome refers to the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome at any one time, including mRNA, which is directly involved in the synthesis of proteins. By studying the transcriptome of macrophages infected with Brucella, researchers can identify which genes are being actively expressed in response to the infection.
