For a particular microarray assay (DNA chip), cDNA has been made from the mRNAs of a dozen patients' breast tumor biopsies. Which of the following types of evidence will researchers be looking for in order to determine if the cells are cancerous?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. a particular gene that is amplified in all or most of the patient samples

  2. a pattern of fluorescence that indicates which cells are over proliferating

  3. a pattern shared among some or all of the samples that indicates gene expression differing from control samples

  4. a group of cDNAs that match those in non-breast cancer control samples from the same population
