Re: [ccp4bb] Way off topic: Donate V. Cholera Genomic DNA?

2013-03-06 Thread Jacob Keller
Dear All, thanks very much for the various suggestions--I finally made the
connection. A good point was also made that gene synthesis is becoming ever
cheaper (~$0.28/bp) so maybe PCRing from genomic DNA is not always
advisable. I'll keep this in mind for the future, although for this one I
had my reasons for going for the gDNA.

Thanks again,

Jacob

 Dear List,

 please pardon the major off-topicity, but I need a trace amount of V
 cholera genomic DNA to PCR from, and it just kills me to spend ~$300 to
 order it for this one and only use. Is anyone in the DC/Baltimore area
 willing and able to donate this? I travel on the capitol beltway daily, so
 anything nearby would work, esp. NIH.
