Exam 18: Genomics

Rice and its grain relatives,maize,barley,and wheat,diverged from a common ancestor 50 million years ago.However,the chromosomes of these plants demonstrate extensive conserved arrangements of segments.This phenomenon is called

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?
