An experiment was done to determine which genes are likely involved in resistance to a new antibiotic. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were grown on normal media (control group) and on media that had the new antibiotic (experimental group). A DNA microarray experiment was performed in which the control samples had a green fluorescent label and the experimental samples had a red fluorescent label. The results from the DNA Microarray are below.
(Each number 1-25 refers to a unique gene) the results of the microarray were: 2 & 24 RED 4,17,22 GREEN 1,13,14,21 NO COLOR All other numbers were YELLOW Therefore, what conclusions can be made based on the results about which genes might be implicated in the antibiotic resistance in these bacteria?
