  • Comparing gene sequences with those of other organisms
  • Defining genes by the set of RNA transcripts present during specific developmental process
  • Analyzing protein interactions directly in vitro

    • What is the researcher's initial step in using forward genetics to identify individual genes?

  • Comparing gene sequences with those of other organisms
  • Analyzing protein interactions directly in vitro
  • Defining genes by the set of RNA transcripts present during specific developmental process
