You are studying Hox genes in crane flies (Leptotarsus testaceus). The cranefly genome is sequenced, and you have access to this sequence. You are interested in studying the EVE gene in craneflies. Using your understanding of Hox genes, design an experiment testing where the homolog of the EVE gene is expressed in cranefly embryos.
