Question

Once a set of genes that are co-regulated has been found, the promoter regions of these genes may be analyzed for conserved patterns that represent sites of interaction with specific transcription factors.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in quiz.

My question is from Global Gene Regulation topic in division Genome Analysis of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: Automatic methods for clustering related sets of genes have been devised. The first of these methods, hierarchical clustering, is commonly used, but the other two methods are better designed to detect differences in patterns over a set of time points or samples.
