This question asks, which of the following was used to determine the function of the cystic fibrosis gene? so basically, when scientists were trying to figure out what the function of the cystic fibrosis gene was, they basically used bioinformatics, which is the application of computer technologies and statistics to basically study genomics, biological information.
00:25
And so basically they were searching for genes in other organisms that had the same.
00:30
Same sequence as the cystic fibrosis gene.
00:33
And because they knew the function of the gene in other organisms, they could also deduce that function of the cystic fibrosis gene in humans.
00:45
And so basically that was the main procedure in which they used to determine basically the function of this gene, which is located right here in this diagram.
00:58
And they were able to deduce basically what was causing this disease.
01:03
So if we go down the list, it is not a microarray.
01:08
They were not using anything, any biochemical or molecular biological approaches...
