Indel arrays for genotyping of Arabidopsis populations

Available genotyping approaches for Arabidopsis mapping populations such as PCR and whole genome-microarrays are either very labor intensive or prohibitively expensive. To meet this challenge, we have developed a novel genotyping array which combines the advantages of high-throughput genotyping with the precision of PCR. In addition to detailed method descriptions, printed arrays are available at cost to academic researchers at www.cgr.harvard.edu/Queitschlab/index.html

Two-component clone sets and deletion strains for Caulobacter crescentus

The following clone sets and deletion collections are available on request by email:
1) Deletion mutant collection for the 106 C. crescentus two-component signal transduction genes.
2) Sequence-verified Gateway pENTR clones for each C. crescentus response regulator gene.
3) Sequence-verified Gateway pENTR clones for each E. coli response regulator gene.
