6.3.3 Non-Coding DNA & Regulatory Genes Flashcards
1
Q
What is the proteome?
A
All the proteins produced by the genome
2
Q
Why is it so difficult to determine the proteome?
A
- There are so many lengths of non-coding DNA in the human genome
- Difficult to differentiate between coding and non-coding DNA
3
Q
Why is the proteome larger than the genome
A
- Alternative splicing
- Post translational modification of proteins (in golgi apparatus)
4
Q
What factors affect gene expression?
A
- Splicing
- Regulatory genes
