Haha yea I wish I had some extra grant money laying around. Man I'm so glad I work with bacteria and only have to worry about only two chromosomes! Hey and while you're at it, go ahead and start synthesizing some RNAi and make some random new morphs lol. Gotta love genetics!Originally Posted by asplundii
Hey if someone is willing to fund me a grant I'd be more than happy to do the wetwork to get the sequence. IIRC a single run on one of the next-gen sequencer systems (SOLiD, Illumina) is around $20K (~8 samples/run). Figure in having to build up new chips since it is an untapped organism so make it $50K for first run and to establish the WT baseline. And then a second run on a pied animal to get the mutation isolated, that is another $20K. And then add in a large margin for fudge and we'll cal lit $85K total.
Anyone got $85K laying around LOL??
