You are studying a novel protein.To learn more about it,you performed a screen in yeast to identify proteins that could interact with it.From the screen you got a clone for a second gene.You had the clone sequenced,and you translated the gene sequence on your computer.What is the next logical step to learn more about the function of these two proteins?
A)Run a BLAST search.
B)Identify the intron/exon organization.
C)Localize the gene to a specific chromosomal region.
D)Search the human genome sequence for your clone.
