Comparison of gene expression in different human tissues using the nuclear run-on transcription assay illustrates that

A) differences in protein production are mainly due to post-transcriptional mechanisms. B) few differences in protein production are detected between tissues. C) differences in protein production are mainly due to differential gene transcription. D) differences in protein production are not due to differential gene transcription. E) few differences in RNA production are detected between different tissues; thus differential protein production is mainly due to post-transcriptional mechanisms.
