Which of these would be of the least use in a gene deletion cassette for use in yeast?
A) kanR gene
B) DNA barcode
C) common PCR primer binding sites
D) shRNA
E) yeast DNA sequences

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ShRNA is a small RNA molecule that is used to knock down gene expression. It would not be useful in a gene deletion cassette, which is designed to completely remove a gene from the genome. The other options - kanR gene, DNA barcode, common PCR primer binding sites, and yeast DNA sequences - are all components that would be useful in a gene deletion cassette.
