Hello colleagues, A student in my lab is trying to use qPCR to determine bacteria-to-fungi ratios in wetland soils. Even though there are several publications using the method (which we’re read and followed carefully!), we’re having trouble - especially with the fungi assay.
I am writing in hopes of finding either an experienced user who can help us trouble shoot, or a lab that might be willing to collaborate to help us analyze ~100 samples that we have archived. Responses off list are probably most appropriate. Any help would be much appreciated!!! Including suggestions for other groups of researchers I should contact. The student has written a few of the groups that publish using this procedure but has received no replies. Thanks, Rima ______________________ Rima B.
