What is typically defined as a "short" gene sequence in genomics?

• Less than 100 base pairs

• Between 100 and 1,000 base pairs

• Between 1,000 and 10,000 base pairs

• More than 10,000 base pairs

In the context of metabolomics, what does the term "metabolome" refer to?

• The complete set of proteins expressed by a cell

• The complete set of small-molecule metabolites present in a biological sample

• The entire genomic sequence of an organism

• The collection of all RNA transcripts in a cell

Why can neutral ions NOT be analysed in a mass spectrometer?

• Neutral ions cannot be focused or accelerated by the ion optics

• Neutral ions are never generated at the source of the MS

• Neutral ions provide false information about the analyte’s characteristics

• Neutral ions are harmful to the detector of an MS
