DNA SYNTHESIS

    Custom oligonucleotides through IDT (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc)

       *25 nmol scale synthesis (basic)                                                                           $0.25/base

       *Many other synthesis scales are available as well as various modifications for a higher price.

       *Desalted custom synthesized DNA oligos come lyophilized with a yield guarantee.

 

       *The common primers listed below are in stock and available immediately.                $15.00/10 ug

       (cleaved, deprotected, quantified and lyophilized)

DNA SEQUENCING

 

    ABI 3130 4-capillary                                                                                   $7.50 per reaction

        *Includes sequencing reaction and capillary electrophoretic sequencing run.

        *User supplies template DNA (typically at 100ng/ul water) and any custom primer (typically at 1pmol/ul water)

        *Approximately 2 pmol primer is required per sequencing reaction.

        *Direct PCR fragment sequencing requires 10ng per 100bp of template fragment.

        *Plasmid sequencing requires at least 300ng template DNA per reaction.

        *Phage sequencing requires >500ng template DNA per reaction, so it is usually submitted at a higher concentration.
