You are a researcher investigating whether a drug that you have discovered is effective for treating lung cancer. You decide to perform a gene expression microarray analysis. You treated the cancer cells with the drug and compared the gene expression pattern to the gene expression pattern of normal cells and of untreated cancer cells. Assuming the drug was effective at treating lung cancer; predict whether the gene expression pattern of the treated cancer cells would be more similar to the gene expression pattern of normal cells or to that of untreated cancer cells? Briefly explain.
