Experimentation
Protocols
For reliability, a majority of our actual experimentation has followed protocols provided by the supplier of relevant projects, including enzymes ([http://www.neb.com/ NEB]) and kits ([http://www.qiagen.com/ Qiagen]). The [http://www.qiagen.com/ Qiagen] maxiprep kit was replaced with a [http://www.bio-rad.com/ Bio-Rad] kit to obtain higher yields with lower processing times.
Please consult the relevant vendors for protocol documents.
