Genes working to promote normal eye development

Reference no: EM13526753

You are a developmental biologist interested in understanding genes working to promote normal eye development. The first step for your research to move forward is to clone a gene called eyes too small (ets). Please describe the necessary series of steps you would take to clone the ets (or any) gene. Discuss one potential use for the above clone once you have it.
