The BIOT section is open for requests and offers of information regarding molecular biology and molecular genetics (protocols, techniques, products, collaboration, etc.). You can reach over 5500 of your colleagues, and on average you may expect up to twenty replies to a single message. This service is absolutely FREE of charge. - Please send high quality messages only, including full name, address and purpose. - Please use the appropriate TOPIC subject heading in your message. - Please state non-trivial questions only. - Please reply by private E-mail only, unless your request is of general interest to the entire HUM-MOLGEN community. - Messages may be refused without further notification. Edward Wilcox Trevor M. D'Souza (BIOT editors **************************************************************** This BIOT message contains: [1] I need useful resources for genetics project. [2] Free Online PCR Resources. [3] Does someone have a protocol for extraction of DNA from human skeletal remains? [4] I need information about interaction between cationic polymers and DNA or RNA. [5] I need information about mutations/polymorphisms in human C-reactive protein. [6] I would like information on tissue array technology. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [#1] Hi, My niece is doing a genetics project and is looking for useful resources - posters, handouts, general information, as it is a science fair project. Sincerely, Patricia Rockman E-mail: patrock@GLOBALSERVE.NET ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [#2] TOPIC: FREE Online PCR Resources The Alkami Biosystems web site http://www.alkami.com is devoted to offering FREE polymerase chain reaction (PCR) resources and information. Dot blots and reverse dot blots are techniques where PCR products are hybridized with allele specific oligonucleotides (ASOs) for the purpose of scanning for mutations, detecting RNA, cancer, or pathogens. Alkami Biosystems also offers you resources for primer design, PCR methods, troubleshooting, polymerases, and other PCR related topics. The site is constantly updated in response to our visitors' requests. ALKAMI BIOSYSTEMS tm "Simplified Solutions for Complex Questions" info@alkami.com http://www.alkami.com P.O.

E-mail: stewartl@ALKAMI.COM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [#3] I would like to know if someone has a protocol for Extraction of DNA from human skeletal remains. Thanks, Dr. Victor Pardini - Brazil E-mail: vpardini@labhpardini.com.br --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [#4] Hello, I need information about interaction between cationic polymers and DNA or RNA. Does someone know where such information can be found? Thanks in advance. Ariel Casanova E-mail: aec@INAME.COM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [#5] I am interested in information -- anecdotal or otherwise-- about mutations/polymorphisms in human C-reactive Protein and any associated clinical manifestations. Dr. Eluem R. Blyden Genetic Designs E-mail: geneticdesigns@MINDSPRING.COM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [#6] Tissue array technology I would like information on tissue array technology - a new method for looking at multiple tissue sections on a single slide after transferring multiple plugs to a single paraffin block. I would like to purchase any of the tools and block formers that have been developed to make this practice efficient. I would also appreciate a list of potential problems when using this technique.
