A patient come to a clinic for evaluation for liver disease. Although the cause of the liver
dysfunction is not known, the doctor suspects that the patient has a deficiency of a liver enzyme resulting from a
novel deletion of the gene for the enzyme. Which of the following tools of molecular genetics would be most useful
for studying this gene?
A. cDNA library
B. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
C. Genomic library
D. Plasmids
E. Southern blotting
