Molecular Tools
In this section I will introduce a number of additional tools that can be used to investigate the function of the HFE protein, including chemical genetics, RNA interference (RNAi), and microarrays.
Chemical GeneticsThe use of organic molecules to alter protein levels
|
RNAiThe use of double stranded RNA to silence gene expression
|
MicroarrayA technique that can be used to assess gene expression
